Class 12 Chemistry General Principles and Process of Isolation of Elements MCQs with Answer
Q1. For the metallurgical process of which of the ores calcined ore can be reduced by carbon?
- Haematite.
- Calamine.
- Iron pyrites.
- Sphalerite.

Ans: 1. Haematite.
- Calamine.
Explanation:
Oxides can be reduced by using carbon. Haematite (Fe O ) and calamine (ZnCO → ZnO + CO )can be reduced by carbon.

Q6. Which of the following statements is correct about the role of substances added in the froth floation process?
- Collectors enhance the non – wettability of the mineral particles.
- Collectors enhance the wettability of gangue particles.
- By using depressants in the process two sulphide ores can be separated.
- Froth stabilisers decrease wettability of gangue.

Ans: 1. Collectors enhance the non – wettability of the mineral particles.
- By using depressants in the process two sulphide ores can be separated.
Explanation:
In froth floatation process, a suspension of the powdered ore is made with water. To it, collectors and froth stabilisers are added.
Collectors (e.g., pine oils, fatty acids, xanthates, etc.) enhance non – wettability of the mineral particles and froth stabilisers (e.g.,
cresols, aniline) stabilise the froth.
