Open in App
Solution

IF we observe the Ellingham diagram, the curve involving G (for CO \longrightarrow CO_2 and C \longrightarrow CO_2) vs T intersect each other at 983 K. G(CO1CO2) is more as compared to(C,CO2). It means that at 983 K or above, coke (C) is a better reducing atgent whereas below this temperature, the reverse is true (i.e. CO is better). Thus , Carbon monoxide (CO) is a better reducing agent at 673 K.
