    Out of C or CO, which is a better reducing agent at 673 K?

    Answer:

    From the Ellingham diagram, we find that 983 K, the curves intersect. The value of G° for change of C to CO2 is less than the value of G° for change of CO to CO2. Therefore, coke (C) is a better reducing agent than CO at 983 K or above temperature. However below this temperature (e.g., at 673 K), CO is more effective reducing agent than C.
