The role of depressant in froth floatation process is :

1. To separate two nitrite ores by selectively preventing one ore from forming froth.
2. To separate two sulphide ores by selectively preventing one ore from forming froth.
3. To separate two sulphide ores by selectively preventing both of them from forming froth.
4. To separate two magnesium ores by selectively preventing both of them from forming froth.

The extraction of copper from pyrites is more difficult than from its oxide ores through reduction because -

1.  Gf of HCl is less than that of H2SandCS2

2. Gf of HNO3 is less than that of H2SandCS2

3.  Gf of Cu2S is less than that of H2SandCS2

4. Gf of CuSO4 is less than that of H2SandCS2

‘Cast iron’ is different from ‘Pig iron' because :

1. Cast iron is obtained by melting pig iron and coke using a hot air blast.
2. Cast iron contains lower amount of carbon (3%) than pig iron.
3. Unlike pig iron, cast iron is extremely hard and brittle.
4. All of the above

Zinc cannot be extracted from zinc oxide via CO reduction because:

(Given:  Ellingham diagram)

2.  \(\Delta G_{f}^{o} \) of ZnO from Zn is lower than that of CO2 from CO
3. ZnO is less stable than CO
4. ZnO is more stable than CO
