Alumino-thermite process is used for the extraction of metals, whose oxides are
Options
- AFusible
- BNot easily reduced by carbon
- CNot easily reduced by hydrogen
- DStrongly basic
Correct answer
B. Not easily reduced by carbon
Step-by-step solution
Alumino thermite process involves reduction of oxides such as F e 2 O 3 , M n 3 O 4 , C r 2 O 3 etc. to metals with aluminum. Cr 2 O 3   +   2Al → Al 2 O 3   +   2Cr;     ΔH   =   − ve
