To obtain (zinc) Zn from zinc sulphide two chemical reaction are
involved
Write
the equations for A and B.
Ans.
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, when, Zinc oxide is heated with carbon, Zinc metal is produced.
