Options

  1. Alighter
  2. Bhydrophobic
  3. Chydrophilic
  4. Dheavier

Correct answer

B. hydrophobic

Step-by-step solution

The role/function of potassium ethyl xanthate in the froth floatation process is to increase the non-wettability of mineral particles by making it hydrophobic. These are also given the name collectors.
