Carbon monoxide is more effective reducing agent than carbon below 984 K but above this temperature the reverse is ture. How would you explain this?

Carbon monoxide gas is more dangerous than carbon dioxide gas. Why?

Why is ice at 273k more effective in cooling than water at the same temperature?

Below 1623 K, Al can reduce MgO to Mg , but above 1623 K , reverse is true.

Although carbon and hydrogen are better reducing agents but they are not used to reduce metallic oxides at high temperatures. Why?

Starting from carbon dioxide how would you obtain A fertilizer?

Explain the following (a) CO_(2) is a better reducing agent below 710 K whereas CO is a better reducing agent above 710 K . (b) Generally sulphide ores are converted into oxides before reduction. ( c) Silica is added to the sulphide ore of copper in the reverberatory furnance. (d) Carbon and hydrogen are not used as reducing agents at high temperature. (e) Vapour phase refining method is used for the purification of Ti

Give reason for the following : a. The first ioisation eathalpy of carbon carbon is greater than that foboron, whereas the reverse is true fore the second ionisation enthalpy . b. Solid carbon dioxie is known as dry ice . c. Why does not silicon form an analogue fo graphite ?

Alkali &alkaline earth metals have low ionisation enthalpies and hence exhibit characteristic flame colouration. They have high negative electrode potentials & hence are strong reducing agents. It dissolve in liquid ammonia to give a solution which conducts electricity and act as strong reducing agent. being stronger reducing agent than hydrogen, they are usually prepared by the electrolysis of their fused chlorides. Their oxides are basic and the basic strength increases down the group. The solubility of carbonates and sulphates of alkali and alkaline earth metals show opposite trends. only the carbonates of Li and alkaline earth metals decompose on heating. The bicarbonates of both alkali & alkaline earth metals on heating give carbonates. Which of the following process is used in the extractive metallurgy of sodium?
