The correct statement is
Options
- Aleaching of bauxite using concentrated NaOH solution gives sodium aluminate and sodium silicate
- Bthe blistered appearance of copper during the metallurgical process is due to the evolution of C O 2
- Cpig iron is obtained from cast iron
- Dthe Hall-Heroult process is used for the production of aluminium and iron
Correct answer
A. leaching of bauxite using concentrated NaOH solution gives sodium aluminate and sodium silicate
Step-by-step solution
(1) During leaching when bauxite is treated with concentrated NaOH, 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 the evoluation of S O 2 . C u 2 S + 2C u 2 O → 6Cu + S O 2 (3) Cast iron is obtained from pig iron Pig iron 4 % → blast of air cast iron 3% (4) Hall-Heroult process is used for production of only aluminium.
