  1. A \(\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{FeW} \mathrm{O}_{4}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{FeO}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Fe}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{4}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{FeW} \mathrm{O}_{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The magnetic impurity present in cassiterite ore is wolframite \(\left([\mathrm{Fe} / \mathrm{Mn}] \mathrm{W} \mathrm{O}_{4}\right)\),
It contains magnetic impurities of tungstates of iron and managanese and the combination is called as wolfromite.
