Question

Name a carbonate ore of zinc. how is it converted into oxide writer chemical reactions how is zinc obtained from oxide give chemical equation ​

Answer 1

Answer:

: Zinc is extracted from its carbonate ore (calamine), when calamine ore is heated strongly in the absence of air i.e. calcined, it decomposes to form zinc oxide and carbon dioxide. Then, zinc oxide is heated with carbon and zinc metal is produced.

Answer 2

ZnCO3

It is converted into its oxide by heating it in the absence of oxygen below its melting point. (Calcination)

ZnCO3 -----heat--------> ZnO + CO2
