X C l 2 e x c e s s + Y C l 2 → X C l 4 + Y ↓ YO → > 400 o C Δ 1 2 O 2 +Y , Ore of Y would be
Options
- ASiderite
- BCinnabar
- CMalachite
- DHornsilver
Correct answer
B. Cinnabar
Step-by-step solution
The reaction sequence is as follows S n C l 2 ( X C l 2 ) + H g C l 2 ( Y C l 2 ) → S n C l 4 ( X C l 4 ) + H g ( Y ) HgO → >   400 o C Δ Hg   +   1 2 O 2 HgS → Cinnabar
