As we learnt that

Ellingham Diagram -

Ellingham diaghram normally consists of plots of \bigtriangleup fG^{\circ} Vs T for the formation of oxides of elements.

- wherein

2xM(s)+O2(g)\rightarrow 2MxO(s)

 

 Mg has more negative \Delta G value than alumina.

Metal which has more -\Delta G value can reduce  those metal oxide which has less -\Delta G value.


Option 1)
