Solution
The correct options are C2HgO+HgS⟶3Hg+SO2 D2Cu2S+3O2⟶2Cu2O+2SO2 Thermite process is the reduction of metal oxides with aluminum powder in which a huge amount of heat is liberated is called thermite process.
Thermite process is very useful for the welding of broken metal parts. When Aluminum powder reacts with iron oxide or chromium oxide and manganous oxide, a large amount of heat is released and about a temperature of 3500oC is attained which is enough to weld broken metallic parts.
