QJEEM22Ch096c: JEE Main 2022 Chemistry - Class 11 JEEM22Ch096c Solution: Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A…

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R

Assertion A : The reduction of a metal oxide is easier if the metal formed is in liquid state than solid state.

Reason R : The value of ΔGΘ becomes more on negative side as entropy is higher in liquid state than solid state.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

Multiple Choice Options

  • A Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
  • B Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
  • C A is correct but R is not correct
  • D A is not correct but R is correct

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Reduction of a metal oxide is easier if the metal is formed in a liquid state at the temperature of reduction because the entropy is higher if the metal is in a liquid state.
