The correct statement(s) related to processes involved in the extraction of metals is(are)
- Roasting of Malachite produces Cuprite
- Calcination of Calamine produces Zincite
- Copper pyrites is heated with silica in a reverberatory furnace to remove iron
- Impure silver is treated with aqueous in the presence of oxygen followed by reduction with zinc metal
Solution
The ore Calamine contain . The Calamine on heating produces .
Cyanide process, also called Macarthur-forrest Process, method of extracting silver from impure ores by dissolving them in a dilute solution of sodium cyanide in the presence of oxygen. The complex formed in the above process reduced to silver metal by the treatment with zinc.
(Silica) is a flux material. It removes impurities as slag. Here, slag consists of Iron in Sulphide ore of , here impurity is .
Malachite green is and cuprite is . The ore malachite green on heating gives cupric oxide but not cuprous oxide.
