For the formation of which compound in Ellingham diagram G^ becomes more and more negative with increase in temperature?
Options
- ACO
- BFeO
- CZno
- DCu ₂ O
Correct answer
A. CO
Step-by-step solution
For formation of carbon monoxide ( CO ), the Ellingham diagram shows that the G^ becomes negative with an increase in temperature. It indicates that the formation of CO from carbon (C) and oxygen ( O ₂ ) becomes more favourable at higher temperatures.
