Question:
Out of C and CO, which is a better reducing agent at 673 K ?
Answer:
At 673 K, CO may prove to be a better reducing agenh than C. This is because at 673 K, the standard Gibbs free energy for the conversion of CO to CO2 is less as compared to the formation of CO from C. Thus, CO2 can readily from CO than CO from C. So CO acts as a better reducing agent, whereby it gets converted to CO2, than C at 673 K.
