At T=800?C=1073K, lnPO2 =-22.2, PO2 =2.28?10-10 atm. At 800?C, if the equilibrium is reached, nitrogen can be of high purity level. However, at this high temperature , particles of Cu will weld together to reduce effective work surface. So it is not suitable to use this high temperature in purification either.
(c ) The equilibrium oxygen pressure remains the same when the total pressure increases, which means a higher purity level of N2 . 5.
