Extraction of Metals - Result Question 10

####10. The pair that does not require calcination is

(2019 Main, 12 Jan II)

(a) $Z n O$ and $M g O$

(b) $Z n O$ and $F e_{2} O_{3} \cdot x H_{2} O$

(d) $F e_{2} O_{3}$ and $C a C O_{3} \cdot M g C O_{3}$

Show Answer

Solution:

The hydroxide, hydrated oxides and carbonate ores, after concentration, are subjected to calcination. In the process, the ore is heated below its melting point in the limited supply or absence of air. As the result, these are converted into their oxides.

So, among the given options, the options having either carbonates (e.g. $Z n C O_{3}$ and $C a C O_{3} \cdot M g C O_{3}$ ) or hydrated oxide (e.g. $F e_{2} O_{3} \cdot x H_{2} O$ ), require calcination while pair of option (a), i.e. $Z n O$ and $M g O$ does not require calcination.
