Question
Chemistry Question on General Principles and Processes of Isolation of Elements
When compared to ΔG∘ for the formation of Al2O3, the ΔG∘ for the formation of Cr2O3 is
A
higher
B
lower
C
same
D
unpredicted
Answer
higher
Explanation
Solution
BetweenAl2O3 and Cr2O3,Al2O3 is more stable, so its ease of formation is high i.e., ΔG? is negative or less than that of Cr2O3.
Hence,ΔG? of Cr2O3 > ΔG? of Al2O3
