Which of the following statements about the advantage of roasting of sulphide ore before reduction is not true ?

Answer»

The `DELTA G^(@)` of the SULPHIDE is greater than those of `CS_(2) " and " H_(2)S`.
The `DeltaG^(@)` is negative for ROASTING of sulphide ore to oxide.
Roasting of sulphide to oxide is thermodynamically feasible
Carbon and hydrogen are not SUITABLE reducing agents for metal sulphides.

Solution :Both C and `H_(2)` are not suitable for reducing sulphide ore because `Delta_(f)G^(@)` of metal sulphide is more than that of `CS_(2) " and H_(2)S` which will be formed as result of redcution.
