In electrometallurgy of aluminium, what will happen if graphite rods are not used as anode and are replaced by some other metal?
A
$${O_2}$$ liberated at anode will react with aluminium to give back $$A{l_2}{O_3}.$$
B
$${F_2}$$ will be liberated at anode instead of $${O_2}.$$
C
The process of electrometallurgy will become non -spontaneous.
D
Aluminium oxide splits into $$A{l^{3 + }}$$ and $${O^{2 - }}$$ ions only in presence of graphite.
Answer :
$${O_2}$$ liberated at anode will react with aluminium to give back $$A{l_2}{O_3}.$$
If some other metal is used as the anode other than graphite then the oxygen liberated at anode will convert some $$Al$$ to $$A{l_2}{O_3}.$$

During a column chromatography through $$A{l_2}{O_3}$$ column, a mixture of components $$A, B$$ and $$C$$ is passed through the column. On adding eluant, compound $$'A'$$ is eluted first then $$'B'$$ and in the end $$'C'.$$ Which of the following statements regarding the components is correct?
A
The order of adsorption of $$A, B$$ and $$C$$ is $$C>B>A.$$
B
The order of adsorption of $$A, B$$ and $$C$$ is $$A > B > C.$$
C
The order of adsorption of $$A, B$$ and $$C$$ is $$B > A > C.$$
D
The order of adsorption of $$A, B$$ and $$C$$ is $$B > C > A.$$
Answer :
The order of adsorption of $$A, B$$ and $$C$$ is $$C>B>A.$$
Since compound $$'A'$$ comes out before $$'B', 'B'$$ is more
readily adsorbed to the column and $$'B'$$ comes out before $$'C',$$ hence $$'C'$$ is more readily adsorbed than $$'B'.$$ Hence, the order of adsorption is $$C > B > A.$$

Roasting of copper pyrite ores is for the following purpose
A
to burn off sulphur, arsenic, antimony etc. as oxides and convert all the iron and copper to their oxides
B
to burn off arsenic, antimonyetc. as oxides and burn off sulphur so that enough of it remains to combine with all the copper
C
to burn off sulphur partially, in order to leave enough of sulphur to combine with arsenic antimony etc. and to convert all the iron and copper to oxides
D
to melt arsenic and antimony sulphides etc. and remove them by liquation and to burn off sulphur partially to leave enough to combine with copper and iron
Answer :
to burn off sulphur partially, in order to leave enough of sulphur to combine with arsenic antimony etc. and to convert all the iron and copper to oxides

Which of the following statements is correct according to the basic concepts of thermodynamics which govern the feasibility of a metallurgical process?
A
When the value of $$\Delta G$$ is positive for the equation $$\Delta G = \Delta H - T\Delta S,$$ the reaction will proceed.
B
If reactants and products of two reactions are put together and net $$\Delta G$$ is $$-ve,$$ the overall reaction will occur.
C
On increasing the temperature, the value of $$\Delta G$$ becomes $$+ve.$$
D
Feasibility of thermal oxidation of an ore can be established by Ellingham diagram in which a straight line shows the reduction reaction will proceed.
Answer :
If reactants and products of two reactions are put together and net $$\Delta G$$ is $$-ve,$$ the overall reaction will occur.

Carnallite on electrolysis gives
A
$$Mg$$ and $$C{l_2}$$
B
$$Ca$$ and $$C{l_2}$$
C
$$K$$ and $$C{l_2}$$
D
$$Al$$ and $$C{l_2}$$
Answer :
$$K$$ and $$C{l_2}$$
Carnallite is an ore of potassium $$KCl.MgC{l_2} \cdot 6{H_2}O.$$ Electrolysis of fused $$KCl$$ and $$CaC{l_2}$$ is carried out to obtain potassium.
$$\eqalign{
& KCl \rightleftharpoons {K^ + } + C{l^ - } \cr
& {\text{At cathode :}}\,{K^ + } + {e^ - } \to K \cr
& {\text{At anode}}:\,2C{l^ - } \to C{l_2} + 2{e^ - } \cr} $$

Which of the following statement is not correct about Ellingham diagram?
A
$$\Delta G$$ increases with an increase in temperature
B
It consists of plots of $${\Delta _f}{G^ \circ }$$ Vs $$T$$ for formation of oxides
C
A coupling reaction can be well expressed by this diagram
D
It express the kinetics of the reduction process
Answer :
It express the kinetics of the reduction process
Ellingham diagrams are based on thermodynamic concepts. It does not tell anything about the kinetics of the reduction process.
