Test: Refining & Reduction of Crude Metal, Flux and Refractory materials - Question 1

Which of the following statements regarding electrolytic refining of copper is incorrect?

Detailed Solution: Question 1

During electrolytic refining of copper electrolyte used is acidified solution of copper sulphate.

Test: Refining & Reduction of Crude Metal, Flux and Refractory materials - Question 2

Which one of the following ores is concentrated by chemical leaching method?

Detailed Solution: Question 2

In this process the finely divided powdered argentite or the native silver or gold is treated with a dilute solution (0.5%) of sodium or potassium cyanide while a current of air is continuously passed. As a result silver pass into solution forming their respective soluble complex cyanides while the impurities remain unaffected which are filtered off.

Test: Refining & Reduction of Crude Metal, Flux and Refractory materials - Question 3

If an impurity in a metal has a greater affinity for oxygen and is more easily oxidised than the metal, then the purification of metal may be carried out by

Detailed Solution: Question 3

Cupellation can be used in such a case.

Test: Refining & Reduction of Crude Metal, Flux and Refractory materials - Question 4

van Arkel method of purification of metals involves converting the metal to a

Detailed Solution: Question 4

(stable compound)

Test: Refining & Reduction of Crude Metal, Flux and Refractory materials - Question 5

Which of the following pairs of metals is purified by van Arkel method?

Detailed Solution: Question 5





Pure titanium

Test: Refining & Reduction of Crude Metal, Flux and Refractory materials - Question 6

Which of the following processes involve the roasting process?

Detailed Solution: Question 6

Roasting involves heating the ore strongly in presence of excess of air

Test: Refining & Reduction of Crude Metal, Flux and Refractory materials - Question 7

In electrorefining of copper some gold is deposited as

Detailed Solution: Question 7

Gold is deposited as anode mud.

Test: Refining & Reduction of Crude Metal, Flux and Refractory materials - Question 8

In electro-refining of metal the impure metal is made the anode and a strip of pure metal, the cathode, during the electrolysis of an aqueous solution of a complex metal salt. This method cannot be used for refining of

Detailed Solution: Question 8

Na reacts vigorously with water (exothermic process)

Test: Refining & Reduction of Crude Metal, Flux and Refractory materials - Question 9

Match the following items of List-I with those of List-II

The correct answer is

Detailed Solution: Question 9

(A) The Mond process, sometimes known as the carbonyl process, is a technique created by Ludwig Mond in 1890, to extract and purify nickel. Thus, correct match for (A) - (4).
(B) van Arkel method is used for refining zirconium or titanium. In this method, oxygen and nitrogen, present as impurity are removed by heating metal in an evacuated vessel with iodine. Thus, correct match for (B) - (3).
(C) Zone refining is a very useful method to get metals with very high purity such as silicon and germanium. Thus, correct match for (c)-(2).
(D) Many metals, such as copper, zinc, tin, nickel, silver, gold etc. are refined by electrolysis. In this process, the impure metal is made the anode and a thin strip of pure metal is made the cathode. The solution of the metal salt is used as an electrolyte. Thus, correct match for (D) - (1).
Hence, the correct option is (c).

Test: Refining & Reduction of Crude Metal, Flux and Refractory materials - Question 10

The metal purified by. Mond process is and metal purified by van Arkel method is . X and Y respectively are

Detailed Solution: Question 10

Test: Refining & Reduction of Crude Metal, Flux and Refractory materials - Question 11

During the electrolysis of cryolite, aluminium and fluorine are formed in ........ molar ratio :

Detailed Solution: Question 11

Electrolysis of cryolite can be explained as

So, the molar ratio of Al and F2 is 4:6=2:3.

Test: Refining & Reduction of Crude Metal, Flux and Refractory materials - Question 12

Which method of purification is represented by the following equation?

Detailed Solution: Question 12



This process is also known as Van Arkel method. It is used for refining Zirconium or Titanium. In this method, oxygen and nitrogen present as impurity are removed by heating metal in an evacuated vessel with iodine.

Test: Refining & Reduction of Crude Metal, Flux and Refractory materials - Question 13

Refractory materials are generally used in furnaces because

Detailed Solution: Question 13

Refractories are the substances which can withstand very high temperature without melting or becoming soft.

Test: Refining & Reduction of Crude Metal, Flux and Refractory materials - Question 14

Which one of the following ores is not concentrated by froth floatation process?

Detailed Solution: Question 14

Pyrolusite is . Hence not concentrated by froth floatation process.

Test: Refining & Reduction of Crude Metal, Flux and Refractory materials - Question 15

Which one of the following is used as an acid flux in metallurgy?

Detailed Solution: Question 15

(silica) is used as an acid flux in metallurgy. It reacts with gangue to form slag.
