3. Explain smelting process.

Smelting (in a Blast Furnace):

  • The charge consisting of roasted ore, coke and limestone in the ratio 8:4:1 is smelted in a blast furnace by introducing it through the cup and cone arrangement at the top.
  • There are three important regions in the furnace.

a) The Lower Region (Combustion Zone):

  • The temperature is at 1500°C.
  • In this region, coke burns with oxygen to form CO2 when the charge comes in contact with a hot blast of air.
  • It is an exothermic reaction since heat is liberated.

1500°C

C + O2 ———————-→ CO2 + Heat

Δ

b) The Middle Region (Fusion Zone):

  • ‘The temperature prevails at 1000°C.
  • In this region, CO2 is reduced to CO.

1000°C

C + O———————-→ 2CO – Heat

Δ

  • Limestone decomposes to calcium oxide and CO2,

  CaCO——————–→ CaO + CO2 – Heat

Δ

  • These two reactions are endothermic due to the absorption of heat.
  • Calcium oxide combines with silica to form calcium silicate slag.

CaO + SiO2 —> CaSiO3

c) The Upper Region (Reduction Zone):

  • The temperature prevails at 400°C.
  • In this region, carbon monoxide reduces ferric oxide to form a fairly pure spongy iron.

1000°C

Fe2O3+ 3CO ———————-→ 2Fe + 3CO2

  • The molten iron is collected at the bottom of the furnace after removing the slag.
  • The iron thus formed is called pig iron.
  • It is remelted and cast into different moulds.
  • This iron is called cast iron.

  • A is Aluminium (Al)
  • B is Aluminium oxide (Al2O3)
  • C is Sodium meta aluminate (Na AlO2)

2. Name the acid that renders aluminium passive. Why?

  • Dilute or concentrated nitric acid renders aluminum passive
  • It does not attack aluminium but it forms oxide film on its surface.

c) How does the property vary in periods and in groups?

a) Tonic bond.
b) Electronegativity property.
c)

  • Along the period from left to right in the periodic table the electronegativity increases, because of the increase in the nuclear charge which in turn attracts the electrons more strongly.
  • On moving down a group the electronegativity of the element decreases because of the increased number of energy levels.
