QUESTION: 3

Regarding cryolite incorrect statement is

Solution:

Cryolite (Na3AIF6) is used in the manufacture of aluminium. Electrolysis of (Al2O3) dissolved in molten Na3AIF6.

QUESTION: 4

In chromite ore, the oxidation number iron and chromium are respectively ______.
Solution:

In chromite ore is (FeO . Cr2O3)
Let the oxidation state of Fe be x.
∴ x - 2 + 2 x 3 + 3 x (-2) = 0
x - 2 + 6 - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = + 2
Let the oxidation state of Cr be y
∴ 2 y + 2 - 2 + 3 x (-2 ) = 0
2 y - 6 = 0
y = 3
Hence, oxidation state of Fe and Cr are +2 and +3 respectively.

QUESTION: 5

Sulphide ores are common for metals
Solution:

Metals having high polarising power (Zeff) exist in ore with anions having high polarisibility
Ag, Cu, Pb →Sulphide ores (Ag2S, CuFeS2, Pbs)
Sn → Oxide ore (SnO2)
Mg→Sea water and dolomite (CaCO3, MgCO3)
Al →Oxide ore (Al2O3.2H2O)

QUESTION: 6

Oxidation states of the metal in the minerals haematite and magnetite respectively are
Solution:

Haematite is Fe2O3, in which oxidation number of iron is III. Magnetite is Fe3O4 which is infact a mixed oxide (FeO.Fe2O3), hence iron is present in both II and III oxidation state.

QUESTION: 7

Among the following statements the incorrect one is
Solution:

Statement: Zinc blende and iron pyrites are sulphides. This statement is correct because zinc blende is ZnS and iron pyrites is FeS2.
Statement:Calamine and siderite are carbonates. This statement is correct because calamine is ZnCO3 and siderite is FeCO3. 
Statement: Malachite and azurite are ores of copper. This statement is also correct because malachite is Cu(OH)2.CuCO3 and azurite isCu(OH)2.2CuCO3. 
Statement: Argentite and cuprite are oxides. This statement is incorrect because argentite is Ag2S and cuprite is Cu2O.

QUESTION: 8

A mineral is called an ore if
Solution:

A mineral is called an ore if a metal can be profiteably extracted from it. e.g. Aluminium occur in earth's crust in the form of two minerals i.e. bauxite (Al2O3 . 2H2O) and clay (Al2O3 . 2SiO2 . 2H2O). Out of these two minerals aluminium can be conveniently and economically extracted from bauxite while no easy and cheap method is so far available for the extraction of aluminium from clay. Therefore, the ore of aluminium is bauxite.

QUESTION: 9

Which is incorrect match?
Solution:

Siderite is a mineral composed of iron(II) carbonate (FeCO3)

                                                                           Passage

The natural substances in which metals occur in the earth are called minerals. A mineral has a definite composition. It may be a single compound or a complex mixture . It is usually associated with number of impurities. The minerals from which the metals can be conveniently extracted are called ores .Thus, all ores are minerals but all minerals are not ores. Depending on the composition ores are classified into different types such as oxides, sulphides, carbonates, halides, silicates etc.

Q. The impurities associated with minerals are called.
Solution:

The correct answer is option A
The impurities associated with minerals used in metallurgy are collectively called Gangue.
