Important Questions on General Principles and Processes of Isolation of Elements (Metallurgy)
Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion and the other is labelled as Reason
Assertion : The reduction of a metal oxide is easier if the metal formed is in liquid state than solid state.
Reason : The value of becomes more on negative side as entropy is higher in liquid state than solid state.
