The correct statement is:
Options
- APig iron is obtained from cast iron.
- BThe Hall-Heroult process is used for the production of aluminium and iron.
- Cleaching of bauxite using concentrated N a O H solution gives sodium aluminate and sodium silicate.
- Dthe blistered appearance of copper during the metallurgical process is due to the evolution of C O 2 .
Correct answer
C. leaching of bauxite using concentrated N a O H solution gives sodium aluminate and sodium silicate.
Step-by-step solution
(1) During leaching when bauxite is treated with concentrated N a O H , then sodium aluminate and sodium silicate is formed in the soluble form, whereas F e 2 O 3 is precipitated (2) The blistered appearance of copper during the metallurgical process is due to evolution of S O 2 . (3) Cast iron is obtained from pig iron. (4) Hall-Heroult process is used for production of only aluminium.
