Question:

In the isolation of metals, calcination process usually results in: metal oxide, metal carbonate, metal hydroxide, metal sulphide

metal sulphide

metal hydroxide

metal oxide

metal carbonate

Solution:

In the isolation of metals, the calcination process usually results in the metal oxide. During calcination, carbonate ores are decomposed to give metal oxides and carbon dioxide. ZnCO₃Δ→ZnO(s)+CO₂(g) Hence, the correct option is B.
