From the Ellingham graphs on carbon, which of the following statements is false?
CO reduces Fe2O3 to Fe at less than 983 K
CO is less stable than CO2 at more than 983 K
CO reduces Fe2O3 to Fe in the reduction zone of blast furnace
CO2 is more stable than CO at less than 983 K
The ore that is concentrated by the froth floatation process is

Copper is extracted from copper pyrites by heating in a Bessemer converter. The method is based on the principle that
copper has more affinity for oxygen than sulphur at high temperature
iron has less affinity for oxygen than sulphur at high temperature
copper has less affinity for oxygen than sulphur at high temperature
sulphur has less affinity for oxygen at high temperature
van-Arkel method of refining zirconium involves
removing all oxygen and nitrogen impurities
removing CO impurity
removing hydrogen impurity
removing silica impurity
A.
removing all oxygen and nitrogen impurities
The van-Arkel method of refining zirconium involves removal of all oxygen and nitrogen impurities.
In this method, the impure metal is heated with iodine in a sealed vessel, so that metal forms volatile metallic iodide and impurities do not react with iodine.
The metallic iodide is then decomposed when purified further at higher temperature.
Cryolite is
Na3AlF6 and is used in the electrolysis of alumina for decreasing electrical conductivity
Na3AlF6 and is used in the electrolysis of alumina for lowering the melting point of alumina only ·
