  • ${Cu^{2+} (a) + H_2(g) \to Cu(s) + 2H^{+} (aq)}$
  • ${ZnO + C ->[Coke, 1673 K] Zn + CO}$

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

In Hall-Heroult's process is given by
${2Al2O3 + 3C -> 4Al + 3CO2}$
${2Al2O3(\ell) <=> 4Al^{3+}(\ell) + 6O^{2 \ominus}(\ell)}$
${At \; cathode :- 4Al^{3 +}_{(\ell)} + 12 e^{ominus} -> 4Al(\ell)}$
${At \; Anode : 6O^{2 \ominus}_{(\ell)} -> 3O_2 (g) + 12e^{\ominus}}$
${3C + 3O_2 -> 3CO_1 (^)}$

What are Ores and Minerals? 

Minerals are the naturally occurring, homogeneous inorganic solid substances. They are having a definite chemical composition and crystalline structure, hardness and color. For example, copper pyrite, calamine, etc.

Impurities in an ore are called gauge. The removal of a gauge from the ore is called concentration ore. 

Several steps are involved in the extraction of pure metal from ores. Major steps are as follows –

  • Concentration of the ore
  • Isolation of the metal from its concentrated ore
  • Purification of the metal
