In the metallurgical extraction of copper, following reaction is used :

FeO and respectively are.
  1. (A)gangue and flux
  2. (B)flux and slag
  3. (C)slag and flux
  4. (D)gangue and slag✓ Correct

Answer: (D)

Solution

In copper extraction, FeO is an impurity (gangue) present in the ore. acts as a flux that reacts with FeO to form , which is the slag (fusible product that can be easily removed). Therefore, FeO is gangue and is slag.
