Q.

The standard free energy of formation of MgO and CO at temperature 1000°C and 2000°C are given below (they refer to the reaction involving one mole of oxygen at one atmosphere pressure). The free energy change to the reaction. 

2Mg +O22MgO     G1000C=-941kJ/mol                                        G2000C=-341kJ/mol 2C+O22CO           G1000C=-439kJ/mol                                        G2000C=-628kJ/mol

The following reaction is feasible at :

 2MgO + 2C  2Mg + CO

Detailed Solution

At 1000°C 

2Mg +O22MgO     G1000C=-941kJ/mol 2C+O22CO           G1000C=-439kJ/mol

2MgO+2C2Mg+CO  G is +ve so reaction is nonspontaneous

At 2000°C 

2Mg +O22MgO       G2000C=-341kJ/mol 2C+O22CO             G2000C=-628kJ/mol

2MgO + 2C  2Mg + CO G is ve so reaction is spontaneous
