The choice of a reducing agent in a particular case depends on thermodynamic factor. How far do you agree with this statement? Support your opinion with two examples.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Thermodynamic considerations are very important in deciding the temperature and reductant in the extraction of a metal. `Fe_2 O_3` is reduced to metal using CO as reagent at 823 K. Sn`O_2` is reduced using coke at 1473 K.
