Correct answer: B, C, D

  1. Check option A: Roasting of Malachite produces Cuprite

    • Malachite is basic copper carbonate: CuCO3⋅Cu(OH)2\mathrm{CuCO_3\cdot Cu(OH)_2}CuCO3​⋅Cu(OH)2​
    • On heating in limited or no air (calcination/decomposition), it gives copper(II) oxide: CuCO3⋅Cu(OH)2→Δ2CuO+CO2+H2O\mathrm{CuCO_3\cdot Cu(OH)_2 \xrightarrow{\Delta} 2CuO + CO_2 + H_2O}CuCO3​⋅Cu(OH)2​Δ​2CuO+CO2​+H2​O
    • Cuprite is: Cu2O\mathrm{Cu_2O}Cu2​O
    • Malachite does not directly produce cuprite on roasting in the standard extraction description.

    Hence, A is incorrect.

  2. Check option B: Calcination of Calamine produces Zincite

    • Calamine is zinc carbonate: ZnCO3\mathrm{ZnCO_3}ZnCO3​
    • On calcination: ZnCO3→ΔZnO+CO2\mathrm{ZnCO_3 \xrightarrow{\Delta} ZnO + CO_2}ZnCO3​Δ​ZnO+CO2​
    • Zincite is: ZnO\mathrm{ZnO}ZnO

    Hence, B is correct.

  3. Check option C: Copper pyrites is heated with silica in a reverberatory furnace to remove iron

    • Copper pyrites is: CuFeS2\mathrm{CuFeS_2}CuFeS2​
    • During extraction, after partial roasting/smelting, iron oxide forms and is removed by silica as slag: FeO+SiO2→FeSiO3\mathrm{FeO + SiO_2 \rightarrow FeSiO_3}FeO+SiO2​→FeSiO3​
    • This is done in a reverberatory furnace.

    Hence, C is correct.

  4. Check option D: Impure silver is treated with aqueous KCN\mathrm{KCN}KCN 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: 4Ag+8KCN+O2+2H2O→4K[Ag(CN)2]+4KOH\mathrm{4Ag + 8KCN + O_2 + 2H_2O \rightarrow 4K[Ag(CN)_2] + 4KOH}4Ag+8KCN+O2​+2H2​O→4K[Ag(CN)2​]+4KOH
    • Then silver is recovered by displacement with zinc: 2K[Ag(CN)2]+Zn→K2[Zn(CN)4]+2Ag\mathrm{2K[Ag(CN)_2] + Zn \rightarrow K_2[Zn(CN)_4] + 2Ag}2K[Ag(CN)2​]+Zn→K2​[Zn(CN)4​]+2Ag

    Hence, D is correct.

  5. Final selection

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

  6. Comparison with stored answer

    • Stored correct answer: B, C, D
    • Derived answer: B, C, D

    So, the derived answer agrees with the stored answer.
