Assertion :Thermal energy is described as the most degraded form of energy. Reason: As it is the final form energy that is 'spread out' or lost to the surroundings in any conversion, and ultimately becomes unavailable to perform useful work.

Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion

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.

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
