Pb and S n are extracted from their chief ore respectively by
Options
- ACarbon reduction and self reduction
- BSelf reduction and carbon reduction
- CElectrolysis and self reduction.
- DSelf reduction and electrolysis.
Correct answer
B. Self reduction and carbon reduction
Step-by-step solution
PbO and PbSO 4 get reduced by PbS itself which is already present in mixture so because the reduction took place by mixture itself, hence is known as self reduction. 2PbO+PbS → Δ 3Pb+SO 2 ↑ P b S O 4 + P b S → Δ 2 P b + 2 S O 2 ↑ SnO 2 +   C → Sn   + CO 2
