At 400 °C, the AG°an for the oxidation of a monoatomic liquid element Z in the presence of O2(9) forming ZO()
is -25.0 kJ per mol 02. In the compound zo(e), Z has a +2 formal charge. Which of the following statements is
CORRECT?
O Z cannot be oxidized to ZO because Z is more stable than ZO at 400 °C or any T above it.
O zo cannot be reduced back to Z at any temperature because reduction of ZO to Z has +AG.
O The oxidation of Z with 02 is exothermic.
The oxidation of Z with 02 is marked by an increase in entropy.
