Consider the following reactions at 1100°C

\[(1) \(2 C+O_{2} \rightarrow 2 C O_{3} \Delta C^{a}=-460 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) (II) \(2 \mathrm{Zn}+\mathrm{O}_{2} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{ZnO} ; \Delta \mathrm{C}^{a}=-360 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\]

Based on these, select the correct alternative.

  1. Zinc can be oxidised by CO
  2. Zinc oxide can be reduced by carbon
  3. Both (a) and (b)
  4. None of the above

Answer

(B) Zinc oxide can be reduced by carbon
