(a). Zinc spar or Smithsonite is a carbonate ore of zinc . Its chemical formula is ZnCO .
(b). Zinc carbonate ( ZnCO ) is converted into Zinc oxide ( ZnO ) by the process of calcination . The chemical equation is -
ZnCO₃ (s) → ZnO (s) + CO₂ (g)
(c). Zinc ( Zn ) can be obtained from Zinc oxide ( ZnO ) by the process of Roasting ( reduction by Carbon ) . The chemical equation is -
2 ZnO (s) + C → 2 Zn + CO (g)
