Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Smelting uses heat and a chemical reducing agent to decompose the ore, driving off other elements as gasses or slag and leaving just the metal behind.The reducing agent is commonly a source of carbon such as coke.

Q. Assertion: The impurities such as

{SiO}_{2}

present in iron ore is removed by

{CaCO}_{3}

CaO

formed by decomposition of

{CaCO}_{3}

{SiO}_{2}

Assertion – The non-fusible impurities present in iron ore are removed by $C a C O_{3}$ .

Reason: $C a C O_{3}$ which decomposes into $C a O$ and $C O_{2}$ . The $C a O$ formed reacts with $S i O_{2}$ to remove silica
