The correct statement(s) related to processes involved in the extraction of metals is(are)
- A Roasting of Malachite produces Cuprite
- B Calcination of Calamine produces Zincite
- C Copper pyrites is heated with silica in a reverberatory furnace to remove iron
- D Impure silver is treated with aqueous in the presence of oxygen followed by reduction with zinc metal
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Calcination of Calamine produces Zincite
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
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.

- Paragraph:
\(\mathbf{X}\) and \(\mathbf{Y}\) are two volatile liquids with molar weights of \(10 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) and \(40 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) respectively. Two cotton plugs, one soaked in \(\mathbf{X}\) and the other soaked in \(\mathbf{Y}\), are simultaneously placed at the ends of a tube of length \(L=24 \mathrm{~cm}\), as shown in the figure. The tube is filled with an inert gas at \(1\) atmosphere pressure and a temperature of \(300 \mathrm{~K}\). Vapours of \(\mathbf{X}\) and \(\mathbf{Y}\) react to form a product which is first observed at a distance \(\mathbf{d} \mathrm{~cm}\) from the plug soaked in \(\mathbf{X}\). Take \(\mathbf{X}\) and \(\mathbf{Y}\) to have equal molecular diameters and assume ideal behaviour for the inert gas and the two vapours.
