NEET2016ChemistryGeneral Principles and Processes of Isolation of MetalsActual
Lime stone is added in the extraction of lead from galena why?
Options
- AIt prevents the formation of PbSO ₄
- BIt remove the impurity of silica as fusible slag
- CIt converts lead silicate to lead oxide
- DAll of the above
Correct answer
D. All of the above
Step-by-step solution
aligned & CaO + SiO ₂ CaSiO ₃ (Slag) & PbO + SiO ₂ PbSiO ₃ & CaO converts PbSiO ₃ to PbO , & PbSiO ₃+ CaO PbO + CaSiO ₃ aligned and also prevents the formation of PbSO ₄ .
