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
