Question

If pidgeon process involving in following reaction:
$CaO\cdot MgO\left(g\right)+Fe/Si\stackrel{\Delta }{\to }Mg\left(l\right)+Fe+C{a}_{2}Si{O}_4$

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Pidgeon process is a batch process in which finely powdered calcined dolomite and terrosilicon are mixed. It is the process of Magnesium metal production.

Dolomite- $(CaC{O}_3\cdot MgC{O}_3)$

$\underset{Pidgeonprocess}{\underset{}{[CaC{O}_3\cdot MgC{O}_3]}}\stackrel{\Delta }{⟶}\underset{reactioninvolvedwhichisgiveninquestion}{\underset{}{CaO\cdot MgO\stackrel{Fe/Si}{\underset{{1150}^{o}C}{⟶}}Mg+Fe}}+C{a}_{2}Si{O}_4$

So, the pidgeon process involve in the above reaction.
