Answer» Upto `710^(@)C`, the reaction of formation of `CO_(2)` is energetically more favourable but above `710^(@)C,` theformation of `CO` is preferred Carbon can be used to reduce any metal oxide at a sufficiently high TEMPERATURE Carbon reduces many oxides at elevated temperature because `DeltaG^(@)` VS temperature line has a negative slope `DeltaS^(@)"["C(s)+1/2O_(2)(g)toCO(g)"]"` `ltDeltaS^(@)[C(s)+O_(2)(g)toCO(g)]` Solution :(d) Since, `DeltaG^(@) = DeltaH^(@)-TDELTAS^(@)` where ,`DeltaG^(@)=`standard Gibbs' free energy of the RACTION `DeltaS^(@)=` standard ENTROPY ofthe reaction `DeltaH^(@)=` standard enthalpy of the reaction T= temperature from the above equation it is clear that `DeltaG^(@)` will be more negative when `DeltaS^(@)` is less negative (or `DeltaS^(@)` is high).
