Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect Froth floatation process used for the concentration of sulphide ore uses sodium ethly xanthate, C2H5OCS2Na as collector. Other examples of collector include ethyl xanthate and potassium ethyl xanthate. They attach themselves to the grains of mineral by polar groups so that minerals become water repellent and pass on into the froth.
Thus Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
