Question

The composition of mischmetal is:

• A. 5% of a lanthanoid metal, 95% of iron and traces of $S,C,Ca$ and $Al$
• B. 95% of an actinoid metal, 5% of iron and traces of $S,C,Ca$ and $Al$
• C. 95% of a lanthanoid metal, 5% of iron and traces of $S,C,Ca$ and $Al$
• D. 95% of a transition metal, 5% of iron and traces of $S,C,Ca$ and $Al$

Answer 1

The correct option is C 95% of a lanthanoid metal, 5% of iron and traces of $S,C,Ca$ and $Al$

The composition of misch metal is $95$% of lanthanide metal $5$% - iron traces of $S,C,Ca,Al$.
