The chemical reaction that involves roasting process is
Options
- AFe ₂ O ₃+3 CO 2 Fe +3 CO ₂
- B2 Al + Fe ₂ O ₃ 2 Fe + Al ₂ O ₃
- C2 ZnS +3 O ₂ 2 ZnO +3 SO ₂
- DFeO + SiO ₂ FeSiO ₃
Correct answer
C. 2 ZnS +3 O ₂ 2 ZnO +3 SO ₂
Step-by-step solution
Roasting is the process of heating of sulphide ores in excess of air to convert them into oxides. Thus, reactions, 2 ZnS +3 O ₂ 2 ZnO +3 SO ₂ occurs during roasting process.
