reactive metals like sodium and aluminium?
a) Roasting
b) Calcination
c) Electrolysis of molten ores
d) Reduction by carbon
Answer: _________

2. Fill in the Blanks (Conceptual)


Metals which are placed at the top of the reactivity series
are extracted by the process of ____________, while metals
of medium reactivity are extracted by the process of
____________ using reducing agents like carbon.

3. Assertion and Reason Type


Assertion (A): Aluminium is extracted by electrolysis of
aluminium oxide.
Reason (R): Aluminium is placed very high in the
reactivity series and cannot be reduced by carbon.
a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of
A.
b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation
of A.
c) A is true but R is false.
d) A is false but R is true.
Answer: _________

4. Very Short Answer (Learning-Based)


What is the main difference between roasting and
calcination?

5. Conceptual Question (Short Answer)


Why can zinc be extracted by heating its oxide with carbon
but magnesium cannot?

6. Diagram-Based Question
Study the diagram of the electrolysis of molten aluminium
oxide. Label the following:
• Cathode
• Anode
• Substance formed at the cathode
• Substance formed at the anode
(You may draw a simple sketch and label OR describe the
positions and reactions)

7. Case-Based Question
Read the passage and answer the questions below:
Ravi visited a metal extraction plant and observed three
steps in the extraction of zinc:
• The ore was heated in the absence of air.
• The metal oxide formed was reduced using coke.
• The metal obtained was purified.
a. Identify the processes involved in each of the above
steps.
b. Why was the ore heated in the absence of air instead of
with air?
c. Write a balanced chemical equation for the reduction of
zinc oxide.

8. Arrange the following metals in decreasing order of


reactivity:

c) Metals of low reactivity
Support your answer with one example and equation for
each category.
