Given below are two statements related to Ellingham diagram :...
Given below are two statements related to Ellingham diagram :
Statement I : Ellingham diagrams can be constructed for formation of oxides, sulphides and halides of metals.
Statement II : It consists of plots of vs for formation of oxides of elements.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Options
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are correct
- BBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
- CStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
- DStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
Correct answer
C. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
Step-by-step solution
An Ellingham diagram is a graph showing the temperature dependence of the stability of compounds. Ellingham diagrams can be drawn for Sulphides, Oxides and Halides. The Ellingham diagram is a graph that shows how the varies with temperature as a result of the formation of elemental oxides.
