1.

the carbon based reduction method is not used for extraction ofA. tin from tin stoneB. iron from `Fe_(2)O_3`C. aluminium from aluminaD. magnesium from `MgCO_3.CaCO_3`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Highly electropositive metals like Al and Mg are not obtained of reduction of their oxides with carbon because they form their corresponding carbines. Instead they are obtained by electrolytic reduction of their fused salts, i.e., Al from `Al_(2)O_(3) ` and Mg from `MgCl_(2)`
