(i) ∆G value for the overall reduction reaction with carbon monoxide is zero.
(ii) ∆G value for the overall reduction reaction with a mixture of 1 mol carbon and 1 mol oxygen is positive.
(iii) ∆G value for the overall reduction reaction with a mixture of 2 mol carbon and 1 mol oxygen will be positive.
(iv) ∆G value for the overall reduction reaction with carbon monoxide is negative
Correct Answer: (i) ∆G value for the overall reduction reaction with carbon monoxide is zero
Explanation: For the reduction of FeO at the temperature corresponding to point D,
- ∆G value for the overall reduction reaction with a mixture of 1 mol carbon and 1 mol oxygen is negative.
- ∆G value for the overall reduction reaction with a mixture of 2 mol carbon and 1 mol oxygen will be negative.
- ∆G value for the overall reduction reaction with carbon monoxide is positive.
