Q25 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2019 (20 Apr Shift 2) · Chemistry

Which one of the following statements is not correct?

  • A
    van-Arkel is method is used for refining of zinconium
  • B
    Mond process is used for refining of nickel
  • C
    Zone refining is based on the principle that the impurities are more soluble in the melt than in the solid state of the metal
  • Correct answer
    D
    High melting metal are refined by liquation

Solution

Liquation method is used for refining of such impure metals that are readily fusible (having low melting points) such as $\mathrm{Pb}, \mathrm{Sn}, \mathrm{Bi}$ and $\mathrm{Hg}$ as compared to impurities (less fusible). The other queen statements are correct. Hence, option (d) is incorrect.

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