Aims
On completion of this Teaching and Learning Package you should:
- Be aware of the structure, origin and use of the Ellingham Diagram;
- Be able to use the interactive diagram included to find thermodynamic data
quickly and effectively including:
- ΔG, k, pO2 for a standard and non-standard reactions across a range of temperatures;
- Relative stabilities of elements with respect to oxidation etc or conversely that of oxides, sulphides etc;
