Correct answer: A, C, D

  1. Check option A

    In extraction of lead from galena, some PbSPbSPbS is oxidized to PbOPbOPbO during roasting: 2PbS+3O2→2PbO+2SO22PbS + 3O_2 \rightarrow 2PbO + 2SO_22PbS+3O2​→2PbO+2SO2​ Then self-reduction occurs between PbSPbSPbS and PbOPbOPbO: PbS+2PbO→3Pb+SO2PbS + 2PbO \rightarrow 3Pb + SO_2PbS+2PbO→3Pb+SO2​ Thus, a mixture of PbSPbSPbS and PbOPbOPbO produces PbPbPb and SO2SO_2SO2​.

    Hence, A is correct.

  2. Check option B

    In extraction of copper from copper pyrites, silica is added as a flux to remove iron oxide impurity: FeO+SiO2→FeSiO3FeO + SiO_2 \rightarrow FeSiO_3FeO+SiO2​→FeSiO3​ The slag formed is iron silicate, not copper silicate.

    Hence, B is incorrect.

  3. Check option C

    In copper extraction from sulphide ores, partial roasting converts part of the sulphide into oxide: 2Cu2S+3O2→2Cu2O+2SO22Cu_2S + 3O_2 \rightarrow 2Cu_2O + 2SO_22Cu2​S+3O2​→2Cu2​O+2SO2​ Then self-reduction occurs: 2Cu2O+Cu2S→6Cu+SO22Cu_2O + Cu_2S \rightarrow 6Cu + SO_22Cu2​O+Cu2​S→6Cu+SO2​ The copper obtained is blister copper.

    Hence, C is correct.

  4. Check option D

    In the cyanide process, gold dissolves as sodium dicyanoaurate(I), Na[Au(CN)2]Na[Au(CN)_2]Na[Au(CN)2​]. Zinc powder is added to precipitate gold: 2Na[Au(CN)2]+Zn→Na2[Zn(CN)4]+2Au2Na[Au(CN)_2] + Zn \rightarrow Na_2[Zn(CN)_4] + 2Au2Na[Au(CN)2​]+Zn→Na2​[Zn(CN)4​]+2Au Therefore zinc displaces gold from the complex.

    Hence, D is correct.

  5. Final selection

    Correct statements are: A, C, D\boxed{A,\ C,\ D}A, C, D​

  6. Comparison with stored answer

    Stored correct answer: A,C,DA, C, DA,C,D

    My derived answer matches the stored answer.
