The metal extracted by leaching with cyanide is :

 [AIEEE-2002]

Detailed Solution: Question 1

The correct answer is option B
The metal extracted by leaching with a cyanide is silver.
The reactions involved in the process are shown below.
Ag2​S + 4NaCN ⇌ 2Na[Ag(CN)2​] + Na2​S
2Na[Ag(CN)2​]+ Zn → Na2​[Zn(CN)4​] + 2Ag↓

Aluminium is industrially prepared by -  

[AIEEE-2002]

Detailed Solution: Question 3

The correct answer is Option D.
The Hall–Héroult process is the major industrial process for smelting aluminium. It involves dissolving aluminium oxide (alumina) (obtained most often from bauxite, aluminium's chief ore, through the Bayer process) in molten cryolite, and electrolysing the molten salt bath, typically in a purpose-built cell.

The substance not likely to contain CaCO3 is –

[AIEEE-2003]

Detailed Solution: Question 4

The correct answer is option D
A) On heating, gypsum loses water and gives the hemihydrate (CaSO4. 1/2H2O) or the anhydrite. The hemihydrate known as Calcined gypsum/ Plaster of Paris / stucco is an important building material.
B) Seashells are the exoskeletons of mollusks such as snails, clams, oysters and many others. Such shells have three distinct layers and are composed mostly of calcium carbonate(CaCO​3).
C) Dolomite is an anhydrous carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate, ideally CaMg(CO3​)2​. 
D) A marble statue typically consists of calcium carbonate.
So Calcined gypsum does not have calcium carbonate.

Which one of the following ores is best concentrated by froath-flotation method ?

[AIEEE-2004]

Detailed Solution: Question 5

The correct answer is Option C.

Galena (PbS)  is best concentrated by a froth-floatation method.
This method is used for the concentration of sulphide ores such as galena (PbS), zinc blende (ZnS) and copper pyrite (CuFeS2).

During the process of electrolytic refining of copper, some metals present as impurity settle as 'anode mud'. These are –  

[AIEEE-2005]

Detailed Solution: Question 6

The correct answer is option D
In Electrolytic refining, the impure metal is made to act as an anode. A strip of the same metal in pure form is used as a cathode. 
They are put in a suitable electrolytic bath containing a soluble salt of the same metal. 
The more basic metal remains in the solution and the less basic ones go to the anode mud.
Copper is refined using an electrolytic method.
Impurities from the blister copper deposit as anode mud which contains antimony, selenium, tellurium, silver, gold, and platinum; recovery of these elements may meet the cost of refining.

Heating mixture of Cu2O and Cu2S will give –

[AIEEE-2005]

Detailed Solution: Question 7

The correct answer is Option B.

Heating a mixture of Cu2O and Cu2S will give Cu+SO2
 
2Cu2O+Cu2S→6Cu+SO2
​
This reaction takes place during bessemerization and is an auto reduction process to give copper metal.
