Extraction Of Metals Result Question 56

56. Match the conversions in Column I with the type(s) of reaction(s) given in Column II

(2008, 6M)

Column I Column II
A. $\mathrm{PbS} \longrightarrow \mathrm{PbO}$ p. Roasting
B. $\mathrm{CaCO}_3 \longrightarrow \mathrm{CaO}$ q. Calcination
C. $\mathrm{ZnS} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Zn}$ r. Carbon reduction
D. $\mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{~S} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Cu}$ s. Self-reduction
Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 56. ( $\mathrm{A} \rightarrow \mathrm{p} ; \mathrm{B} \rightarrow \mathrm{q} ; \mathrm{C} \rightarrow \mathrm{r}, \mathrm{s} ; \mathrm{D} \rightarrow \mathrm{p}, \mathrm{s}$ )

Solution:

  1. A. $\mathrm{PbS} \xrightarrow{\mathrm{O} _2} \mathrm{PbO}+\mathrm{SO} _2$, roasting

B. $\mathrm{CaCO} _3 \longrightarrow \mathrm{CaO}+\mathrm{CO} _2 \uparrow$; calcination

C. $\mathrm{ZnS} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Zn}$, can be done by carbon reduction or self reduction

D. $\mathrm{Cu} _2 \mathrm{~S} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Cu}$, roasting followed by self reduction
