Given the Ellingham diagram, write the overall reaction if 2 Mg(s) + O2(g) -> 2 MgO(s) is coupled with the reduction of FeO(s) to Fe(s). Is the overall reaction spontaneous at 800 °C? Justify your answer. Also, write the overall reaction for the extraction of (1) Fe, (2) Al, and (3) Mg from their corresponding metal oxides when coupled with the oxidation of C(s) to CO(g). Which of these metals can be extracted from its oxide at 1800 °C?
