Question
Assertion: Sulphide ores are concentrated by Froth Flotation method.
Reason: Cresols stabilise the froth in Froth Flotation method.
Options
Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
Assertion is true but reason is false.
Assertion is false but reason is true.
Assertion and reason both are wrong.
Solution
Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
Explanation:
Sulphide ores are wetted by oil and becomes lighter and rises to the surface along with froths while impurities wetted by water become heavier and settle down.
