Question

what is calcination process? Give one example​

Answer 1

Answer:

The carbonate ores are changed into oxides by heating strongly in limited air. This process is known as calcination. ... For example, when zinc oxide is heated with carbon, it is reduced to metallic zinc

Answer 2

Explanation:

Calcination is the process of heating the concentrated ore such as carbonate or hydrated oxide to a high temperature in the absence of air. Example: Metal carbonates get decomposed to produce metal oxides. \[\ce{ZnCO3 ->ZnO + CO2}\] \[\ce{CaCO3 -> CaO + CO2}\]
