Q33 / 76 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Chemistry · General Principles and Processes of Isolation of Metals

Which of the following process involves smelting?

  • A
    ZnCO3→ΔZnO+CO2
  • Correct answer
    B
    Fe2O3+3C→Heat2Fe+3CO
  • C
    2 PbS+3O2→Heat2PbO+2SO2
  • D
    Al2O3. 2H2O→HeatAl2O3+2H2O

Solution

We know that smelting is reduction with carbon. Here Fe 2 O 3 with the help of carbon.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
