Solution

The correct option is D If assertion is incorrect, but reason is correct.
All metal oxides are basic in nature and all nonmetal oxides are acidic in nature.
So if impurities are acidic then it can be removed by using a base and if impurities are basic then it can be removed by using acid.
In this question-Iron oxide is metal oxide so it is acidic and calcium oxide is also metal oxide so it is also acidic.Acidic impurities cannot be removed by acid so the assertion is false.
The reason is true.
So correct answer is $(D)$ .

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

Q. Assertion: The impurities such as

{SiO}_{2}

present in iron ore is removed by

{CaCO}_{3}

.

Reason:

CaO

formed by decomposition of

{CaCO}_{3}

reacts with

{SiO}_{2}

to form slag.

Q. Directions: In the following questions, a statement of assertion is followed by a statement of reason.
Mark the correct choice as:
