Q67 / 200 · NEET 2022 (Phase 2) · Chemistry

Which one of the following is not a calcination reaction?

  • A
    $\mathrm{ZnCO}_3 \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{ZnO}+\mathrm{CO}_2$
  • B
    $\mathrm{Fe}_2 \mathrm{O}_3 \cdot x \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{Fe}_2 \mathrm{O}_3+x \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$
  • C
    $\mathrm{CaCO}_3 \cdot \mathrm{MgCO}_3 \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{CaO}+\mathrm{MgO}+2 \mathrm{CO}_2$
  • Correct answer
    D
    $\mathrm{CaCO}_3 \cdot 2 \mathrm{HCl} \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{CaCl}_2+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{CO}_2$

Solution

Calcination process involves heating of ore in absence of air below melting point. But here reaction taking place is a displacement reaction.

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