Explanation

(d) Extraction of gold and silver involves leaching with CNion. Silver is later recovered by distillation of Zn. 

In the metallurgy of silver or gold, the respective metal is leached with a dilute solution of NaCN or KCN in the presence of air to obtain the metal in solution as complex Film the complex, metal is obtained later by replacement.

In general,

4M(s)+ 8CN-(aq)+ 2H2O (aq) + O2(g) 4[M(CN)2]-(aq) + 4OH-(aq)

2[M(CN)2]-(aq)+ Zn(s)  [Zn(CN)4]2-(aq) + 2M(s)

M = Ag or Au This method is known as Mac-Arthur Forest cyanide process.

Aluminium is extracted from alumina (Al2O3) by electrolysis of a molten mixture of

Explanation

Alumina, Al2O3 , is a bad conductor of electricity and has very high melting point, so before subjecting to electrolysis, it is mixed with fluorspar (CaF2) and cryolite (Na3AlF6), which lower its melting point and make it more conducting.

Explanation

(d)

    Mineral             Chemical composition
Malachite                   CuCO3.Cu(OH)2
Cassiterite                  SnO2
Pyrolusite                   MnO2
Magnetite                   Fe3O4

Thus, magnetite is a mineral of iron

In the extraction of copper from its sulphide ore, the metal is finally obtained by the reduction of cuprous oxide with

Explanation

In the extraction of copper from its sulphide ore, when ore is subjected to roasting, some of it is oxidised to Cu2O which reacts with the remaining Cu2S (sulphide ore) to give copper metal.

Cu2S + 2Cu2O 6Cu + SO2

In this process Cu2S behaves as reducing agent.

Explanation

(b) From given reactions, Free energy of the reaction : ZnOg+Cs1000°CZng+COg, is negative.

Consider the following reactions:

2XS+3O22XO+2SO2

2XO+XS3'X'+SO2

Then 'X' can not be:
