VSA
Very Short Answer

12
Question VSA

Write the principle of the following :

Froth floatation process
Mark 1

13
 Solution
principle -sulphide ore is wetted by oils ,
- gangue is wetted by water.

14
Question VSA

Describe the role of the following :

NaCN in froth floatation process
Mark 1

15
 Solution

NaCN is used as a depressant in froth floatation process

SA
Short Answer

17
Question SA

Out of C and CO, which is a better reducing agent at

the lower temperature range in the blast furnace to
extract iron from the oxide ore?
Mark 2

18
 Solution
Ellingham diagram for oxides of metals and carbon shows

that at 673 K,

hence formation of CO2 gas is more favourable than CO

gas. Hence, out of C and CO, CO is a better reducing
agent.
19
Question SA

Give two requirements for vapour phase refining.

Marks- 2

20
 Solution
Two requirements for vapour phase refining are

metal should form a volatile

compound with reagent.

volatile compound should be

easily recovered by
decomposition.

21
Question SA

Which method is used for refining Zr and Ti? Explain with

equation.

Marks- 2

22
 Solution
Zr and Ti are refined by van Arkel method.

Zone refining is based on the principle that

___________.
(i) impurities of low boiling metals can be separated
by distillation.
(ii) impurities are more soluble in molten metal
than in solid metal.
(iii) different components of a mixture are
differently adsorbed on an adosrbent.
(iv) vapours of volatile compound can be
decomposed in pure metal.
