deltaG^(o) vs T plot in the Ellingham's diagram slopes downaward for t

1.	deltaG^(o) vs T plot in the Ellingham's diagram slopes downaward for the reaction.
Answer» Mg + `1/2 O_2 rArr` MgO 2Ag + `1/2 O_2 rArr Ag_(2)O` `C+1/2O_(2)toCO` `CO+1/2O_(2)toCO_(2)` Solution :For the reaction C + `1/2 O_2` `rarr` CO , the `DELTAS` increase. THEREFORE, T`deltaS` increases with TEMPERATURE. Hence `DELTAG(deltaH - TdeltaS)` decreases. It means the slope of the curve for formation of CO decreases. However, for all other oxides, it increases.
