Find out whether it is possible to reduce MgO using carbon at 298 K. If not, at what temperature, it becomes spontaneous for reaction, MgO(s) + C(s) → Mg(s) + CO(g), Given : ΔH° = + 491.18 kJ and ΔS° = + 197.67 J at 298 K.

Find out whether it is possible to reduce MgO using carbon at 298 K. I

1.	Find out whether it is possible to reduce MgO using carbon at 298 K. If not, at what temperature, it becomes spontaneous for reaction, MgO(s) + C(s) → Mg(s) + CO(g), Given : ΔH° = + 491.18 kJ and ΔS° = + 197.67 J at 298 K.
Answer» EN chemical reaction between MgO and C is as FOLLOWS,THUS reaction is non-SPONTANEOUS at 298. For spontaneous nature (Or)
