Roasting of sulphides gives the gas X as a by-product. This is a colourless gas with a choking smell of burnt sulphur and causes great damage to respiratory organs as a result of acid rain. Its aqueous solution is acidic and acts as an oxidizing agent and its acid has never been isolated. The gas X is:
1. SO2
2. CO2
3. SO3
4. H2S

1. Malachite
2. Cassiterite
3. Pyrolusite
4. Magnetite
Which of the following elements is present as an impurity to the maximum extent in the pig Iron?
1. Carbon
2. Silicon
3. Phosphorus
4. Manganese
| 1. | Carbon and hydrogen act as suitable reducing agents for metal sulphides |
| 2. | The \(\Delta_f G^0\) of the sulphide is greater than those for \(C S_2\) and \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}\) |
| 3. | The \(\Delta_f G^0\) is negative for roasting of sulphur ore to oxide. |
| 4. | Roasting of the sulphide to the oxide is thermodynamically feasible |
In the extraction of copper from its sulphide ore, the metal is finally obtained by the reduction of cuprous oxide with?
