Sample Questions
Which of the following are minerals?
Show answer
Bauxite (Al₂O₃·2H₂O), Haematite (Fe₂O₃), Rock salt (NaCl), Galena (PbS)
Minerals are naturally occurring compounds or elements found in earth's crust. Bauxite, haematite, rock salt, and galena are all minerals. Pure gold is a free metal, not a mineral compound.
Which metals are found in free state in nature?
Show answer
Gold (Au), Silver (Ag), Copper (Cu)
Gold, silver, and copper are least reactive metals and are found in free state (native form) in nature. Sodium and aluminum are highly reactive and always found in combined form.
The formula of bauxite is:
Show answer
Al₂O₃·2H₂O
Bauxite is the main ore of aluminum with the formula Al₂O₃·2H₂O. Fe₂O₃ is haematite (iron ore), ZnS is zinc blende, and CuFeS₂ is copper iron pyrites.
Which extraction method is used for highly reactive metals like sodium and aluminum?
Show answer
Electrolytic reduction
Highly reactive metals like sodium and aluminum require electrolytic reduction of their fused compounds because simple chemical reduction methods are not feasible at such high temperatures.
