Statement: Below approximately 400 °C, the reverse reaction (2CO → CO₂ + C, sometimes called carbon deposition or the Biot reaction) is thermodynamically favored, but the kinetics are slow enough that carbon deposition from CO at low temperatures is a well-known but slow industrial nuisance rather than a rapid equilibration process.
