Two ores X and Y were taken. On heating these ores it
Y were taken. On heating these ores it was observed that
(a) ore X gives CO2 gas, and
(b) ore Y gives SO, gas.
Write steps to convert these ores into metals, giving chemical equations
of the reactions that take place.

Answer:
ore x is carbonate ore whereas ore y is sulphide ore
following are the steps to convert these ores into pure metal :_
- Concentration of ore :- in this process the unwanted materials are removed from the ores
- For sulphide ore :-
Roasting (heating of ore in presence of oxygen) -
for example ore of mercury
Cinnabar [HgS] is the ore of mercury . when it is heated in air , firstly it is converted into mercuric oxide[HgO] . Mercuric oxide is reduced to mercury by heating .
2HgS(s) + O2(g) = 2HgO(s) + SO2(g)
2HgO(s) (on heating in presence of O2) = 2Hg(l) + O2(g)
2. For carbonate ore :-
Calcination (heating in absence of oxygen)
for example ore of zinc
Sphalerite (zinc blende) is the ore of zinc
ZnCO3 (s) (on heating) = ZnO(s) + SO2(g)
ZnCO3(s) + C(s) = Zn(s) + C(g)
Hope it is helpful to u!!
Plzz mark it as brainliest if it is helpful to u :)
Answer:- Two ores are given X and Y.
On heating these ores x gives co2 and y give so2.
It means that x is metal carbonate and y is metal sulphide.
So,by calcination
Metal carbonate heated strongly in the presence of limited supply of air it gives us:- MCo3 ---------> MO + Co2-----(I)
Heat
Now by roasting
Metal sulphide heated in the presence of excess air,then it gives us:-
MSo3 ------->MO + So2----(ii)
From equation 1 & 2
Metal oxide are reduced to metal by most reducing agent called carbon.
MO + c------->m +Co
