Problem
A fundamental energy-giving reaction for the creation of the primordial living cell is proposed to be the formation of iron pyrites by the reaction FeS(s) + H2S(aq)6FeS2(s) + 2H+(aq) + 2e-(aq). The energy released by this reaction is used to break up CO2 and form the carbon compounds essential to life. Estimate the maximum work obtainable from the above reaction under standard conditions.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
