Which metal oxide would be the most reactive if it has the most negative \mathrm{\Delta G^{\circ}} of reduction at a given temperature?

 

Option: 1

Metal oxide A with \mathrm{\Delta G^{\circ} = -500 kJ/mol}


Option: 2

Metal oxide B with \mathrm{\Delta G^{\circ} = -200 kJ/mol}


Option: 3

Metal oxide C with \mathrm{\Delta G^{\circ} = -100 kJ/mol}


Option: 4

Metal oxide D with \mathrm{\Delta G^{\circ} = 50 kJ/mol}

A more negative \mathrm{\Delta G^{\circ}} of reduction indicates a more thermodynamically favourable reaction. Therefore, metal oxide A with \mathrm{\Delta G^{\circ} = -500 kJ/mol} would be the most reactive among the given options.
