QJEEM21Ch94d8: JEE Main 2021 Chemistry - Class 12 JEEM21Ch94d8 Solution: The point of intersection and sudden increase in the slope, in…
The point of intersection and sudden increase in the slope, in the diagram given below, respectively, indicates :
Multiple Choice Options
- A ΔG > 0 and decomposition of the metal oxide
- B ΔG < 0 and decomposition of the metal oxide
- C ΔG = 0 and reduction of the metal oxide
- D ΔG = 0 and melting or boiling point of the metal oxide
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
From the Ellingham diagram given, the point of intersection represents ΔG = 0 and the temperature at which sudden increase in the slope occurs is indicated by melting or boiling.
