Out of coke and `CO_(2)` which is better reducing agent for the reduction of `ZnO` ? Why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Ellingham diagram clearly shows that free energy formation of CO or `CO_(2)` from C is lower than that of formation of `CO_(2)` from CO than ZnO. Thus coke is a better reducing agent.
