Question

what type of reaction takes place during extraction of a metal from its ore?

Answer 1

The method used to extract a metal from its ore depends upon the stability of its compound in the ore, which in turn depends upon the reactivity of the metal: the oxides of very reactive metals, such as aluminium, form stable oxides and other compounds. A lot of energy is needed to reduce them to extract the metal.

Answer 2

many type of reaction takes place during extraction of a metal from its ore is:-

1.oxidation reaction

2.combination reaction

3.displacement reaction.
