A complex sulfide ore containing PbS, ZnS, and FeS is subjected to froth flotation. Sodium ethyl xanthate is used as a collector. Which metal sulfide will be preferentially concentrated in the froth?
ZnS
PbS
FeS
All equally
In the leaching of gold with cyanide, the role of oxygen is BEST described as:
Reducing agent, converting gold ions to metallic gold.
Complexing agent, directly forming a soluble gold complex.
Oxidizing agent, facilitating the formation of a soluble gold complex.
Catalyst, speeding up the dissolution process without being consumed.
Which of the following ores is concentrated using magnetic separation after roasting?
Bauxite
Copper pyrites
Galena
Cinnabar
Which method is MOST suitable for concentrating an ore containing cassiterite (SnO2) contaminated with wolframite (FeWO4)?
Froth flotation
Magnetic separation
Handpicking
Gravity separation
The process of removing gangue from zinc blende by preferential wetting with pine oil and water is known as:
Leaching
Liquation
Froth flotation
Calcination
Consider the Ellingham diagram. Which metal oxide among the following can be reduced by coke at a temperature of 1500 K but not at 1200 K?
MgO
AlβOβ
ZnO
FeO
The Ellingham diagram for the formation of metal oxides shows a sudden increase in the slope for some metals. This is primarily due to:
Melting of the metal
Boiling of the metal
Phase transition of the metal
Formation of a non-stoichiometric oxide
Which of the following statements is INCORRECT regarding the Ellingham diagram?
The Ellingham diagram plots Gibbs free energy change as a function of temperature.
The Ellingham diagram assumes all reactants and products are in their standard states.
The Ellingham diagram can be used to determine the rate of a reaction.
The slope of the lines in the Ellingham diagram is determined by the entropy change of the reaction.
Why does the vs. T curve for the formation of from have a negative slope in the Ellingham diagram?
Increase in entropy due to increase in gaseous moles.
Decrease in entropy due to decrease in gaseous moles.
Constant entropy as gaseous moles remain the same.
The reaction is exothermic.
