Question

The standard Gibbs free energies for the reactions at $1773 K$ are given below:
$C (s) + O_{2} (g) ⟶ C O_{2} (g); Δ G^{o} = - 380 k J {m o l}^{- 1}$
$C (s) + O_{2} (g) ⇌ 2 C O (g); Δ G^{o} = - 500 k J {m o l}^{- 1}$
Discuss the probability of reducing ${A l}_{2} O_{3}$ and $P b O$ with carbon at this temperature,
$4 A l + 3 O_{2} (g) ⟶ 2 {A l}_{2} O_{3} (s); Δ G^{o} = - 22500 k J {m o l}^{- 1}$
$2 P b + O_{2} (g) ⟶ 2 P b O (s); Δ G^{o} = - 120 k J {m o l}^{- 1}$
