The choice of a reducing agent in the extraction of a particular case depends on thermodynamic factor. Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Thermodynamic considerations are very important in deciding the temperature and reductant `Fe_(2)O_(3)` is reduced to metal using CO as reagent at 823 K. `SnO_(2)` is reduced using coke at 1473 K.
