Ellingham diagram is a graphical representation of:
1.
2.
3.
4.
An Ellingham diagram provides information about:
| 1. | The pressure dependence of the standard electrode potentials of reduction reactions involved in the extraction of metals. |
| 2. | The kinetics of the reduction process. |
| 3. | The temperature dependence of the standard Gibbs energies of formation of some metal oxides. |
| 4. | The conditions of pH and potential under which a species is thermodynamically stable. |
With respect to an ore, the Ellingham diagram helps to predict the feasibility of its-
1. Electrolysis
2. Thermal reduction
3. Zone refining
4. Vapour phase refining
| Statement-I: | In the Ellingham diagram metal oxide, having a higher value of \(\Delta G \) is more stable, than metal oxide has less \(\Delta G\) value. |
| Statement-II: | In the Ellingham diagram, lower metal will reduce uppers metal from its oxide. |
Consider the following reactions at 1100oC
\((I)\,\, 2 \mathrm{C}+\mathrm{O}_{2} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{CO}, \Delta G^{\circ}=-460 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\\ (II)\,\, 2 \mathrm{Zn}+\mathrm{O}_{2} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{ZnO}, \Delta G^{\circ}=-360 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)
Based on these, select correct alternate :
1. Zinc can be oxidised by CO.
2. Zinc oxide can be reduced by carbon.
3. Both 1 and 2.
4. None is correct.
