Question

What would happen if carbon was roasted with an ore of zinc sulfide?

Answer 1

Answer:

Here is ur Answer!!!

Explanation:

Extraction of zinc

Zinc mostly occurs as sulfide ores, which are heated in air to convert them to zinc oxide.

Molten zinc can then be made from zinc oxide by heating with carbon:

zinc oxide + carbon → zinc + carbon monoxide

ZnO(s) + C(s) → Zn(l) + CO(g)

Zinc oxide loses oxygen. It is reduced. Carbon gains oxygen. It is oxidised.

Carbon acts as a reducing agent. Carbon has displaced the metal from the oxide.

The carbon monoxide is oxidised further to produce the less harmful carbon dioxide, CO2.
