Consider two chemical reactions (A) and (B) that take place during metallurgical process:
(A) $ZnC{O_{3(s)}}\buildrel \Delta \over
\longrightarrow Zn{O_{(s)}} + C{O_{2(g)}}$
(B) $$2Zn{S_{(s)}} + 3{O_{2(g)}}\buildrel \Delta \over
\longrightarrow 2Zn{O_{(s)}} + 2S{O_{2(g)}}$$
The correct option of names given to them respectively is :
Solution
(A) $ZnC{O_{3(s)}}\buildrel \Delta \over
\longrightarrow Zn{O_{(s)}} + C{O_{2(g)}}$<br><br>Heating in absence of oxygen in calcination.<br><br>(B) $$2Zn{S_{(s)}} + 3{O_{2(g)}}\buildrel \Delta \over
\longrightarrow 2Zn{O_{(s)}} + 2S{O_{2(g)}}$$<br><br>Heating in presence of oxygen in roasting.<br><br>Hence, (A) is calcination while (B) in roasting.
