Question

Chemistry Question on General Principles and Processes of Isolation of Elements

When compared to ΔG\Delta G^\circ for the formation of Al2O3Al_2O_3, the ΔG\Delta G^\circ for the formation of Cr2O3Cr_2O_3 is

A

higher

B

lower

C

same

D

unpredicted

Answer

higher

Explanation

Solution

BetweenAl2O3 Al_2O_3 and Cr2O3,Al2O3Cr_2O_3, Al_2O_3 is more stable, so its ease of formation is high i.e., ΔG?\Delta G? is negative or less than that of Cr2O3Cr_2O_3.

Hence,ΔG? \Delta G? of Cr2O3 Cr_2O_3 > ΔG?\Delta G? of Al2O3 Al_2O_3
