Question

Metal X is found in nature as it's sulphide XS. It is used in galvanisation of iron articles. Identify the metal X how will you convert this sulphide ore into the metal? explain with equation​

Answer 1

Answer:

Metal X is Zinc.Zinc is used for glavanisation of iron articles.

(Roasting)

ZnS + O2 ------> ZnO + SO2

ZnO----> Zn + O2 (By reduction)

Answer 2

Answer:

Zn

Explanation:

Galvanization : It is a process in which iron or steel is coated with zinc to prevent rusting.

We are given that metal X is found in nature as its sulphide XS.

It is used in the galvanization of iron article.

Therefore, the metal will be zinc because zinc coating is used in galvanization of iron.

Roasting : It is process in which sulphide ores are heated in presence of oxygen.

2zns+3o2-----2zno+2so2

Reduction of zinc oxide by carbon

2zno + c--------2zn+co2
