Calculate ΔG⊖\Delta G^\ominus for the reaction: 2Al(s)+Fe2O3(s)→2Fe(s)+Al2O3(s)2\text{Al}(\text{s}) + \text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3(\text{s}) \rightarrow 2\text{Fe}(\text{s}) + \text{Al}_2\text{O}_3(\text{s}) from the following data.
CompoundΔGf⊖/kJ mol−1\Delta G_f^\ominus / \text{kJ mol}^{-1}
Fe2O3(s)\text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3(\text{s})-742
Al2O3(s)\text{Al}_2\text{O}_3(\text{s})-1582
Comment on the significance of the value obtained.
