Metals and Non-Metals — Science STD 10 — Question

CBSE BoardEnglish MediumSTD 10ScienceMetals and Non-Metals3 Marks
Question
Describe with one example, how moderately reactive metals (which are in the middle of reactivity series) are extracted.
✓

Answer

The moderately reactive metals are extracted by the reduction of their oxides with carbon,
aluminium, sodium or calcium.
Example: When zinc sulphide (zinc blende ore) is strongly heated in air (roasted), it forms zinc oxide and sulphur dioxide. This process is called roasting. Then, zinc oxide is heated with carbon to form zinc metal. This process is termed as reduction.
