The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Between$ Al_2O_3$ and $Cr_2O_3, Al_2O_3$ is more stable, so its ease of formation is high i.e., $\Delta G?$ is negative or less than that of $Cr_2O_3$.

Hence,$ \Delta G?$ of $ Cr_2O_3$ > $\Delta G?$ of $ Al_2O_3$

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
