Chapter 18, Problem 57QAP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The process of returning metal t their natural state-the ore should be determined. If the metal undergo reduction or oxidation should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The minerals containing metals are known as ores. There are different methods involved in the extraction of different types of ores. There are some common metals like iron which are smelted in the presence of carbon atoms as a reducing agent. Some of the metals such as aluminium and sodium do not have compatible reducing agent this they are extracted by the process of electrolysis. Directly metal cannot be obtained from the sulphide ores. They are reduced by the process of roasting which takes place in the presence of air and results in the formation of oxides.

Which among these metals does not react with the environment?   a. Au b. Mg c. Zn d. Fe
1. The flotation process used in metallurgy involves __________. a.chemical reduction b.the roasting of sulfides c.separation of gangue from ore d.electrolytic reduction 2.Which group of elements includes the most reactive of all the metallic elements? a.group 13 metals b.alkali metals c.coinage metals (group 11) d.alkali earth metals
Lead is normally obtained from PbS which is first converted to PbO by roasting in a limited supply of air. The roasted ore can then be reduced with fresh PbS:PbS + 2PbO -> 3Pb + SO2 Assign an oxidation number to each atom and verify that the total number of electrons lost is equal to the total number gained. For the reaction as written, the total number of electrons lost is _(?)_  and the total number of electrons gained is _(?)_.
