Question

Write the steps involved in the extraction of pure metals in the middle of the activity series from their carbonate areas

Answer 1

Carbonate ores of metals located in the middle of the activity series such as Zinc Carbonate(Calamine) can be calcined so as to get its oxide and then can be reduced by Carbon Or Carbon Monoxide.

ZnCO₃ + O₂ (Δ)→ ZnO + CO₂↑

ZnO + CO → Zn + CO₂↑

Thus, Zinc From Zinc Carbonate Is Obtained In The Above Reaction.

Answer 2

Here is the steps involved in the extraction of pure metal in the middle of the activity series from their carbonate ores.

1) Convert it into metal oxide by heating it in the presence of limited oxygen.

2) Adding coke or carbon convert it into it's pure state by heating.

Hope this helps you!!!
