Given below are two statements :
Statement I : According to the Ellingham diagram, any metal oxide with higher G° is more stable than the one with lower G°.
Statement II : The metal involved in the formation of oxide placed lower in the Ellingham diagram can reduce the oxide of a metal placed higher in the diagram.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Options:
Answer:
D
Solution:
Statement I is incorrect because a more negative indicates greater stability for a metal oxide. Statement II is correct as a metal lower in the Ellingham diagram (more negative for its oxide formation) has a stronger affinity for oxygen and can reduce oxides of metals higher up.
