Consider the following reaction at `1000^(@)C`
(A) `Zn (s) + (1)/(2) O_(2) (g) rarr ZnO(s), Delta G^(Ө) = - 360 kJ mol^(-1)`
(B) `C (s) + (1)/(2) O_(2) (g) rarr OO(g), Delta G^(Ө) = - 460 kJ mol^(-1)`
Choose the correct statement at `1000^(@)C`

A

Zinc can be oxidised by `CO`

B

`ZnO` can be reduced by `C`

C

`ZnO` can be reduced by `CO`

D

None of the above

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Because the `DeltaG^(@)` of the formation of `CO` is more negative than that of `ZnO` at `1000^(@)C`.
