Question 44

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A: In the Ellingham diagram, a sharp change in slope of the line is observed from Mg $$\to$$ MgO at ~1120°C
Reason R: There is a large change of entropy associated with the change of state
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

Assertion A: Sharp change in slope at ~1120°C in the Mg → MgO Ellingham line — True. This occurs near the boiling point of Mg (1091°C).

Reason R: Large entropy change associated with change of state — True. When Mg boils, the entropy increases sharply, causing the slope change in the Ellingham diagram.

Both are true and R correctly explains A.
