The correct statement(s) related to processes involved in the extraction of metals is(are)

Options

  1. ARoasting of Malachite produces Cuprite
  2. BCalcination of Calamine produces Zincite
  3. CCopper pyrites is heated with silica in a reverberatory furnace to remove iron
  4. DImpure silver is treated with aqueous KCNKCN in the presence of oxygen followed by reduction with zinc metal

Correct answer

B. Calcination of Calamine produces Zincite

Step-by-step solution

The ore Calamine contain ZnCO3{ZnCO}_{3}. The Calamine on heating produces ZnOZnO.ZnCO3→∆ZnO+CO2{ZnCO}_{3}\overset{∆}{\to}ZnO + {CO}_{2}

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.

O2+H2O+Ag+NaCN→Na[Ag(CN)2]+NaOHNa[Ag(CN)2]→ZnNa2[Zn(CN)4]+Ag{O}_{2} + {H}_{2}O + Ag + NaCN\overset{}{\to}Na\left[Ag{\left(CN\right)}_{2}\right] + NaOHNa\left[Ag{\left(CN\right)}_{2}\right]\overset{Zn}{\to}{Na}_{2}\left[Zn{\left(CN\right)}_{4}\right] + Ag

SiO2{SiO}_{2} (Silica) is a flux material. It removes impurities as slag. Here, slag consists of Iron in Sulphide ore of CuCu, here impurity is FeOFeO.

FeO+SiO2→FeSiO3FeO + {SiO}_{2}\overset{}{\to}{FeSiO}_{3}

Malachite green is CuCO3.Cu(OH)2andcupriteis{CuCO}_{3} . Cu{\left(OH\right)}_{2} and cuprite is{Cu}_{2}O.Theoremalachitegreenonheatinggivescupricoxidebutnotcuprousoxide.</p><p>. The ore malachite green on heating gives cupric oxide but not cuprous oxide.</p><p>{CuCO}_{3} . Cu{\left(OH\right)}_{2}\overset{∆}{\to}2CuO + {CO}_{2} + {H}_{2}O$
