Which of the following process is used in the extractive metallurgy of magnesium?

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

(A) From salts of magnesium, magnesium cannot be extracted by other chemical methods as magnesium itself acts as a reducing agent and Mg obtained at the cathode during electrolysis of its salt solution, reacts with water forming Mg OH2.

 At cathode Mg2++2e-Mg; At anode 2Cl-Cl2+2e-

Assertion : The reduction of a metal oxide is easier if the metal formed is in liquid state
at the temperature of reduction.

Reason : The value of entropy change +S of the reduction process is more on +ve side when the metal formed is in liquid state and the metal oxide being reduced is in solid state. Thus the value of +G0 becomes more on negative side.

Explanation

(A) Randomness increases on changing the phase from soilid to liquid or from liquid to gas.

Assertion : Extraction of gold from its native ore involves leaching the metal with dilute
solution of NaCN in presence of air.

Reason : This is an oxidation reaction and leads to the formation of a soluble complex.

Assertion : Cast iron is different from pig iron.

Reason : Cast iron is made by melting pig iron with scrap iron and coke using hot air blast and has about 3% carbon content.

Explanation

(A)

 Cast iron contains 3% carbon.

Pig Iron and its properties:

 

  • Pig Iron is a basic raw material for all irons and produced from a blast furnace.

 

  • It contains Carbon percentage equal to 3-4%

 

  • Pig Iron from ore contains three basic forms of Iron:
    1. Cast iron (Made from Cupola furnace)
    2. Wrought Iron (Made from Pudding furnace) 
    3. Steel (Made from Bessemer converter)

 

 

Wrought Iron and its properties:

 

  • Wrought Iron is a mechanical mixture of pure iron and silicate slag

 

  • Its Carbon percentage is 0.02% to 0.03%

 

  • Wrought Iron is never cast or difficult to cast

 

  • Wrought Iron is having high ductile, corrosion resistant, fatigue resistant

 

  • It is having Tensile strength: 3380-3500 kg per square centimeter and 2530-2670 kg per square centimeter in transverse direction

 

  • Wrought Iron's melting point: 1510 degree C, Weight – 7680 kg per meter cube.

 

  • Wrought Iron's Poisson's ratio: 0.3

 

 

Malleable Cast Iron and its properties:

 

  • Malleable Cast Iron is obtained from hard & brittle white iron., through a controlled heat treatment conversion process.

 

  • Malleable Cast Iron is having Carbon percentage : 2 % to 3 %

 

  • Malleable Cast Iron having material properties like High yield strength, ease of machinability, corrosion resistance and high young modulus

 

  • It is having Low coefficient of thermal expansion and high wear resistance & damping vibration.

 

  • Shrinkage Allowance for this Iron is 1.5 mm / 100mm

 

  • Malleable Cast Iron is used to make Crank-shaft, rail road, universal joint etc.

 

Assertion : In the Hoop’s process of aluminium purification, the fused materials remain in three different layers. These layers remain intact even in electrolytic reduction.

Reason : This is an oxidation reaction and leads to the formation of a soluble complex.

Explanation

(A) Upper most layer of pure molten aluminium, middle layer of molten fluorides of Na+Ba+2 and Al+3 and lower layer of Molten impure aluminium have different densities.

Assertion : Sodium chloride is added during electrolysis of fused anhydrous magnesium
chloride.

Reason : Anhydrous magnesium chloride is obtained by heating hydrated magnesium
chloride, MgCl2.6H2O.

Explanation

(C) Assertion : It lowers the fusion temperature of MgCl2 and provide conductivity to the electrolyte.

    Reason : MgCl2.6H2O  is calcined in a stream of dry HCI gas to have anhydrous MgCl2. In
absence of dry HCI, It forms MgOCl2MgO.MgCl2 because of hydrolysis.

Explanation

The partial hydrolysis of one mole of peroxodisulfuric acid (H2S2O8) produces one mole of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and one mole of peroxomonosulfuric acid (H2SO5). The reaction is: H2S2O8 + H2O → H2SO4 + H2SO5.
