Question

Write the equations for the following metals which are obtained from their compounds by reduction process-
1. Metal X which is low in reactivity series
2. Metal Y which is in middle of series
Please, I beg of you to help me out here

Answer 1

1. metals low in reactivity series are obtained by the method of Heating Alone
 2. metals in the middle of the reactivity series are obtained by either
     Roasting - sulphides are converted to oxides when heated in presence of              oxygen
     or        
     Calcination - carbonates are converted to oxides when heated in absence of
     oxygen

hope it helps u :)

Answer 2

(a) The metals low in reactivity series are directly subjected to heating in air.

(b) The metals in middle of the series are first converted to their oxides and then reduced to the corresponding metal.
