Answer:
1. Answer : (a) froth flotation process
Explanation: The froth floatation process is a process that is used industrially for the concentration of sulphide ores of various minerals.
2. Answer : (b) copper
Explanation: Malachite, a minor ore but a widespread mineral of copper, basic copper carbonate, Cu2CO3(OH)2. Because of its distinctive bright green colour and its presence in the weathered zone of nearly all copper deposits, malachite serves as a prospecting guide for that metal.
3. Answer : (a) bauxite
Explanation: Bauxite ore is the world's primary source of aluminum. The ore must first be chemically processed to produce alumina (aluminum oxide).
4. Answer : (c) froth floatation process
Explanation: The powdered ore is agitated with water or washed with running stream of water. The heavy ore particles and lighter impurities are separated. This method of concentration is known as. froth floatation process.
5. Answer : (d) pine oil
Explanation: So, the oil used as a frothing agent in the Froth flotation process is pine oil.
6. Answer : (d) SiO2
Explanation: The major impurities in Bauxite are iron oxides (goethite & hematite), silicon dioxide, the clay mineral kaolinite as well as small amounts of anatase.
7. Answer : (b) magnetic separation
Explanation: An ore of tin-containing FeCrO4 is concentrated by magnetic separation as FeCrO4 is ferromagnetic in nature. Magnetic separation based on differences in magnetic properties of the ore components.
8. Answer : (a) it helps removing the impurities like SiO2, Fe2O3 etc. from the bauxite ore
Explanation: In the extraction of aluminium, the significance of leaching is to concentrate pure alumina (Al2O3) from bauxite ore.In this process, hydrated Al2O3 gets precipitated and sodium silicate remains in the solution.
9. Answer : (c) Cu
Explanation: Copper matte is put in a silica-lined converter to remove the remaining FeO and FeS present in the matte as slag (FeSiO3).
10. Answer : (d) Mg
Explanation: Among the metals Cr, Fe, Mn, Ti, Ba, and Mg, the one that cannot be obtained by reduction of metal oxide by aluminium is. Mg reacts with C to form Magnesium carbide.
11. Answer : (d) roasting
Explanation: Heating pyrites to remove sulphur is called roasting. Pyrites are metal sulphide ores. Upon heating in presence of air, metal pyrites are converted to metal oxides and sulphur is removed as sulphur dioxide gas.
12. Answer : (b) roasting
Explanation: Heating pyrites to remove sulphur is called roasting. Pyrites are metal sulphide ores. Upon heating in presence of air, metal pyrites are converted to metal oxides and sulphur is removed as sulphur dioxide gas.
13. Answer : (b) a reducing agent
Explanation: Aluminium acts as reducing agent because when it releases electrons those electrons will go to some other stuff and reduce it, when it comes to metallurgy aluminium is used to reduce iron oxide into iron and itself getting oxidized to aluminium oxide (The thermite reaction).
14. Answer : (a) flux
Explanation: CaCO3 is added as flux. It decomposes to give CaO which reacts with SiO2 to form slag.
15. Answer : (b) Al
Explanation: The reducing agent used in thermite process is Aluminium.
16. Answer : (a) CaSiO3
Explanation: In the metallurgy of iron, limestone (CaCO3) acts as a flux and forms calcium silicate CaSiO3(slag).
17. Answer : (a) Hg
Explanation: Cinnabar is mined as the major ore of mercury. The ore of cinnabar is squeeze plus made warm toward let mercury goes as a vapour.
18. Answer : (c) Cassiterite
Explanation: Cassiterite is the main ore of Tin. It is a mineral of tin oxide, SnO2.
19. Answer : (c) O
Explanation: The most abundant element in the earth's crust by weight is oxygen.
20. Answer : (d) Sn
Explanation: Cassiterite, also called tinstone, heavy, metallic, hard tin dioxide (SnO2) that is the major ore of tin. It is colourless when pure, but brown or black when iron impurities are present.
21. Answer : (a) Pb
Explanation: Galena, also called lead glance, a grey lead sulfide (PbS), the chief ore mineral of lead.
22. Answer : (a) levigation
Explanation: Levigation is based on the difference in densities of the metallic ore and gangue particles. Powdered ore is treated with a stream of running water when the lighter gangue particles are washed away and heavier ore particles are left behind.
23. Answer : (a) carbon reduction
Explanation: The common method of extraction of metals from oxide ore involves reduction with carbon.
24. Answer : (b) Fe
Explanation: Blast furnaces are used to produce pig iron from iron ore for subsequent processing into steel, and they are also employed in processing lead, copper, and other metals.
25. Answer : (c) fire clay bricks
Explanation: The inner lining of blast furnace is made from Fire Clay bricks. These are highly refractory in nature and does not melt at even huge temperature. The main components of fire clay bricks are Silica and alumina.
