The following reactions take place in the blast furnace in the preparation of impure iron. Identify the reaction pertaining to the formation of the slag.
A
$$F{e_2}{O_3}\left( s \right) + 3\,CO\left( g \right) \to 2\,Fe\left( l \right) + 3\,C{O_2}\left( g \right)$$
B
$$CaC{O_3}\left( s \right) \to CaO\left( s \right) + C{O_2}\left( g \right)$$
C
$$CaO\left( s \right) + Si{O_2}\left( s \right) \to CaSi{O_3}\left( s \right)$$
D
$$2C\left( s \right) + {O_2}\left( g \right) \to 2\,CO\left( g \right)$$
Answer :
$$CaO\left( s \right) + Si{O_2}\left( s \right) \to CaSi{O_3}\left( s \right)$$
In blast furnace at about $$1270\,K,$$ calcium carbonate is almost completely decomposed to give $$CaO$$ which acts as a flux and combines with $$Si{O_2}$$ present as impurity (gangue) in the ore to form calcium silicate ( fusible slag )
$$\mathop {CaO\left( s \right)}\limits_{{\text{(basic flux)}}} + \mathop {Si{O_2}\left( s \right)}\limits_{{\text{(acidic flux)}}} \to \mathop {CaSi{O_3}\left( s \right)}\limits_{{\text{(slag)}}} $$
145.

146.
Which of the following statements is correct about the role of collectors added during froth floatation process?
A
Collectors enhance the non-wettability of ore particles.
B
Collectors enhance the wettability of gangue particles.
C
Collectors help in separating two sulphide ores present in the mixture.
D
Collectors help ore particles to settle down below the froth.
Answer :
Collectors enhance the non-wettability of ore particles.
Collectors such as ethyl xanthate, potassium ethyl xanthate and fatty acids help in enhancing the non-wettability of the ore particles.
147.
Oxidation states of the metal in the minerals haematite and magnetite, respectively, are
A
II, III in haematite and III in magnetite
B
II, III in haematite and II in magnetite
C
II in haematite and II, III in magnetite
D
III in haematite and II, III in magnetite
Answer :
III in haematite and II, III in magnetite
(i) Haematite is $$F{e_2}{O_3}$$ in which $$Fe$$ is present in III oxidation state.
(ii) Magnetite $$\left( {F{e_4}{O_3}} \right)$$ is an equimolar mixture of $$FeO$$ and $$F{e_2}{O_3}.$$
Oxidation state of $$Fe$$ in $$FeO$$ is II.
Oxidation state of $$Fe$$ in $$F{e_2}{O_3}$$ is III.
