      \nThe entropy is higher if the metal is in liquid state than in solid state. The value of (\u2206S) of the reduction process is +ve when the metal formed is in liquid state the metal oxide being reduced is in solid state. The value of \u2206G\u0398<\/sup> becomes more on -ve side and the reduction becomes easier.<\/p>\n

          \nAnswer:
          \nIt is a graph showing the variation of \u2206r<\/sub>G\u00b0forthe formation of oxides with temperature. It helps in the choice of reducing agent in the reduction of oxides.<\/p>\n

          Question 7.
          \nAlthough thermodynamically feasible, in practice, magnesium metal is not used for the reduction of alumina in the metallurgy of Aluminium. Why?
          \nAnswer:
          \nThe process would be uneconomic because Mg itself is a costly metal. Moreover, there is one technological difficulty also. The reaction between Mg and Al2<\/sub>O3<\/sub> is exothermic. If the temperature increases to 2000 K then the reverse reaction becomes feasible, i.e., Al starts reducing MgO.

                    Question 14.
                    \nWhy is the extraction of copper from pyrites more difficult than that from its oxide ore through reduction?
                    \nAnswer:

The aluminate solution is neutralised by passing CO2<\/sub> gas and hydrated Al2<\/sub>O3<\/sub> is precipitated by seeding with freshly prepared samples of hydrated Al2<\/sub>O3<\/sub>. Hydrated alumina is filtered, dried and heated to obtain pure Al2<\/sub>O3<\/sub><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                                                          \nCopper can be extracted by hydrometallurgy but not zinc. Explain.
                                                                          \nAnswer:
                                                                          \nMetals occupying low positions in the electrochemical series can be extracted by hydrometallurgy because the metal ions (Mn+<\/sup>) of such metals can be easily reduced by treatment with some more electropositive metal. The metals occupying higher positions in the electrochemical series cannot be extracted by hydrometallurgy because the metal ions of such metals are difficult to be reduced.<\/p>\n

                                                                          Copper can be extracted by hydrometallurgy because it occupies quite lower position in the electrochemical series. On the other hand, zinc cannot be extracted by hydrometallurgy because it occupies higher position in the series and has large negative reduction potential.<\/p>\n

                                                                          Question 2.
                                                                          \nHow is leaching carried out in case of low grade copper ores?
                                                                          \nAnswer:
                                                                          \nCopper is leached out using acid or bacteria. The solution containing Cu2+<\/sup> ions is treated with iron scrap or H2<\/sub> to recover copper.
                                                                          \nCu2+<\/sup>(aq) + Fe(s) \u2192 Cu(s) + Fe2+<\/sup>(aq)
                                                                          \nCu2+<\/sup>(aq) + H2<\/sub>(g) \u2192 Cu(s) + 2H+<\/sup>(aq)<\/p>\n

                                                                          \nWhy is the extraction of copper from pyrites more difficult than that from its oxide ore through reduction?
                                                                          \nAnswer:
                                                                          \nCarbon is a poor reducing agent for sulphide ores whereas it is good reducing agent for oxide ores.<\/p>\n

                                                                          Question 4.
                                                                          \nWhat is the role of graphite rod in the electrometallurgy of aluminium?
                                                                          \nAnswer:
                                                                          \nGraphite rod acts as anode in the electrometallurgy of aluminium. Graphite anode facilitates reduction of Al2<\/sub>O3<\/sub> to aluminium by electrolysis. Carbon reacts with oxygen liberated at anode producing CO and CO2<\/sub>
                                                                          \nAt anode:

                                                                          \nAt cathode:
                                                                          \nAl3+<\/sup>(melt + 3e–<\/sup> \u2192 Al(I)<\/p>\n

                                                                          Question 5.
                                                                          \nName the common elements present in the anode mud in electrolytic refining of copper. Why are they so present?
                                                                          \nAnswer:
                                                                          \nThe elements antimony, selenium, gold, silver, platinum, etc. are present in the anode mud during the refining of copper. These impurities being less electropositive do not undergo oxidation at the anode and hence settle down as such.<\/p>\n
