Options
- ANiO
- BZnO
- CWO ₃
- DFe ₂ O ₃
Correct answer
C. WO ₃
Step-by-step solution
Nickel oxide is reduced by water gas to obtain the metal. Other oxides are reduced by other reducing agent. gathered ZnO + C Zn + CO WO ₃+3 H ₂ W +3 H ₂ O Fe ₂ O ₃+3 CO 2 Fe +3 CO ₂ 2 NiO + CO + H ₂ _ Water gas 2 Ni + CO ₂+ H ₂ O gathered
