Correct answer: B, C, D
-
Check option A: Roasting of Malachite produces Cuprite
- Malachite is basic copper carbonate:
- On heating in limited or no air (calcination/decomposition), it gives copper(II) oxide:
- Cuprite is:
- Malachite does not directly produce cuprite on roasting in the standard extraction description.
Hence, A is incorrect.
-
Check option B: Calcination of Calamine produces Zincite
- Calamine is zinc carbonate:
- On calcination:
- Zincite is:
Hence, B is correct.
-
Check option C: Copper pyrites is heated with silica in a reverberatory furnace to remove iron
- Copper pyrites is:
- During extraction, after partial roasting/smelting, iron oxide forms and is removed by silica as slag:
- This is done in a reverberatory furnace.
Hence, C is correct.
-
Check option D: Impure silver is treated with aqueous in the presence of oxygen followed by reduction with zinc metal
- This is the cyanide process used for extraction of silver from argentite-type ores.
- Silver dissolves in cyanide solution in presence of oxygen:
- Then silver is recovered by displacement with zinc:
Hence, D is correct.
-
Final selection
Correct statements are:
-
Comparison with stored answer
- Stored correct answer: B, C, D
- Derived answer: B, C, D
So, the derived answer agrees with the stored answer.
