(i) Name the method of refining of nickel (ii) What is the role of cryolite in the extraction of aluminium ? (iii) What is the role of limestone in the extraction of iron from its oxides ? |
Answer» (i) Mond process. (ii) It makes aluminium a good conductor of electricity and it lowers the fusion (M.P) temperature both from 2323 k to about 1140 K. (iii) At 1123k, limestone decomposes to form CaO and `CO_(2).` CaO act as flux and combine silica (impurity) to form calcium silicate slag. `CaCO_(3) (s)overset(1123k)(to)CaO(s) + CO_(2)(g)` `CaO(s) + SiO(s) to CaSiO_(3) " Calcium silicate (slag)"` |
