From the Ellingham graphs on carbon , which of the following statements is false ? |
|
Answer» `CO_(2)` is more stable than `CO` at less than 983 K  Below 983 K , `DELTA G^(@)` for the formation of `CO_(2)` is more negative than `DeltaG^(@)` for the formation of CO , so `CO_(2)` is more stable . At temperature above 983 K , `Delta_("formation")^(@)` of CO is more negative than `Delta G_("formation")^(@)` of `CO_(2)` , so CO is more stable . So statement (c) is false . `Delta G_("formation")^(@)` of `CO_2` from `CO` is more negative than `Delta G_("formation")^(@)` of `Fe_(2) O_(3)` . This MEANS that `Fe_(2) O_3` can be reduced by CO below 1073 K . |
