Ellingham Diagram. An ellingham diagram is a plot of g versus temperature. 2xm s o 2 g 2m x o s as is evident from the reaction the gaseous amount of reactant is decreasing from left to right as the product formed is solid metal oxide on the right side.
Ellingham diagram is used to predict thermodynamic feasibility of reduction of oxides of one metal by another metal. It does not predict the kinetics of the reduction i e. Howard data from thomas b.
It does not predict the kinetics of the reduction i e.
Howard data from thomas b. Rate or time taken for reduction to occur or how fast the reaction proceeds. Since h and s are essentially constant with temperature unless a phase change occurs the free energy versus temperature plot can be drawn as a series of straight lines where s is the slope and h is the y intercept. The interactive ellingham diagram the interactive ellingham diagram included within this tlp is a teaching and learning tool which you can use to obtain a variety of useful thermodynamic information pertaining to a wide range of reactions.
