For the formation of which compound in Ellingham diagram \(\Delta G^{\circ}\) becomes more and more negative with increase in temperature?

  1. A \(\mathrm{CO}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{FeO}\)
  3. C Zno
  4. D \(\mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{O}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{CO}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For formation of carbon monoxide ( \(\mathrm{CO}\) ), the
Ellingham diagram shows that the \(\Delta G^{\circ}\) becomes negative with an increase in temperature. It indicates that the formation of \(\mathrm{CO}\) from carbon
(C) and oxygen \(\left(\mathrm{O}_2\right)\) becomes more favourable at higher temperatures.
