Question

The reduction of metal oxide is easier if the metal found in the liquid state at the temperature of reduction

Answer 1

Hey..!

At the higher temperatures, the reduction of the metal oxide is easier. For the reduction of metal oxide, the Gibbs energy should be negative. In solid state, the entropy or randomness will be less due to high intermolecular force of attraction while in liquid state, the entropy will be more comparatively.
