Considering the Ellingham diagram, which of the following metals can be used to reduce alumina?
Fe
Zn
Cu
Mg
D.
Mg
The metal which is more reactive than 'Al' can reduce alumina. Also, according to the Ellingham diagram, Mg has more –ΔG value then alumina. Metals which has more –ΔG value can reduce those metals oxide which has less –ΔG value.
