Roasting

Q.

Extraction of copper is done using copper pyrites. After roasting, the ore is mixed with silica and coke and then smelted in a blast furnace. The matte obtained from the blast furnace is charged into a silica-lined converter. Some silica is also added, and a hot air blast is blown into the mixture to obtain blister copper, which is purified by electrorefining. The chemical composition of the slag formed during smelting is:

1. ${\mathrm{CuSiO}}_3$

2. ${\mathrm{CaSiO}}_3$

3. ${\mathrm{FeSiO}}_3$

4. None of these

Q.

2. Lead acetate

3. Ammonium nitrate

4. Potassium sulphate

Q.
