Gold is extracted by hydrometallurgical process, based on its property :
of being electropositive
of being less reactive
to form complexes which are water soluble
to form salts which are water soluble
The temperature of the slag zone in metallurgy of iron using blast furnace is :
1200-1500°C
1500-1600°C
400-700°C
800-1000°C
Assertion : Hydrometallurgy involves dissolving the ore in a suitable reagent followed by precipitation by a more electropositive metal.

B.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
Hydrometallurgy is a method for obtaining metals from their ores. It is a technique within the field of extractive metallurgy involving the use of aqueous chemistry for the recovery of metals from ores, concentrates, and recycled or residual materials. Copper can be extracted by this method, but not zinc.
