Carbon can reduce ferric oxide to iron at a temperature above \(983 \mathrm{~K}\) because
- A carbon monoxide formed is thermodynamically less stable than ferric oxide
- B carbon has a higher affinity towards oxidation than iron
- C free energy change for the formation of carbon dioxide is less negative than that for ferric oxide
- D iron has a higher affinity towards oxygen than carbon
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) carbon has a higher affinity towards oxidation than iron
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Above \(983 \mathrm{~K}\), free energy change for the formation of \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) is more negative than that for ferric oxide. Thus, above this temperature, carbon has a higher affinity towards oxidation than iron.
