Question

Statement-I: The choice of reducing agents for metals extraction can be made by using Ellingham diagram, a plot of $\Delta G$ vs temperature.\ Statement-II: The value of $\Delta S$ increases from left to right in Ellingham diagram.

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

Statement I is true. Statement II is false because the lines in an Ellingham diagram typically have a constant positive slope, meaning the entropy change ($\Delta S$) is relatively constant, not increasing from left to right.
