To obtain Zn from zinc sulphide two chemical reactions are involved

Write the equations for A and B.

Open in App

Solution

_{Equation for A: Roasting is the process in which a sulphide ore is strongly heated in the presence of air to convert it into metal oxide.}

Equation for B: Zinc metal is extracted by the reduction of its oxide with carbon (or coke). Thus, zinc metal is produced by heating zinc oxide with carbon.
