Question
Explain concept with example/explain with the help of a balanced equation.
Roasting
Solution
- The process of heating of sulphide ores strongly in excess of air to convert it into respective oxide is called roasting.
- For example, zinc sulphide is heated strongly in excess of air to convert it to zinc oxide.
\[\ce{\underset{\text{Zinc sulphide}}{2ZnS_{(s)}} + 3O_{2(g)} -> \underset{\text{Zinc oxide}}{2ZnO_{(s)}} + \underset{\text{Sulphur dioxide}}{2SO_2↑}}\]

On the basis of reactivity metals are grouped into three categories:
- Metals of low reactivity
- Metals of medium reactivity
- Metals of high reactivity
Therefore metals are extracted in pure form from their ores on the basis of their chemical properties.
Metals of high reactivity are extracted from their ores by electrolysis of the molten ore.
Metals of low reactivity are extracted from their sulphide ores, which are converted into their oxides. The oxides of these metals are reduced to metals by simple heating.
