Out of C and CO, which is a better reducing agent for FeO in the lower region (at higher temperature) of the blast furnace and CO is a better reducing agent in the upper region (at lower temperature) of the blast furnace.

Coke can be used to reduce FeO to Fe at temperatures above 1073K . Justify this reduction with the help of an Ellingham diagram.

We know, DeltaG^(0)=-RTlnK_(c) and DeltaG^(0)=-RTlnK_(p) . Therefore in case of a reaction occurring in gaseous phase at a given temperature, DeltaG^(0) is the same evenn if the values of K_(p) and K_(c) are different. Is the statement true? Given reasons.

At a given temperature, the equilibrium constant K_c for the reaction, A+BtoC is 10. At the same temperature the reaction is allowed to occur in a closed vessel of volume 1L. At a particular moment of time during the reaction, if the amount of A, B and C in the reaction system are 0.1,0.4 and 0.3 mol respectively then-
