  • question_answer
    Pb and Sn are extracted from their chief ore by [IIT-JEE Screening 2004]

    A) Carbon reduction and self-reduction.

    B) Self reduction and carbon reduction.

    C) Electrolysis and self-reduction.

    D) Self-reduction and electrolysis.

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[PbO\] & \[PbS{{O}_{4}}\] get reduced by PbS itself which is already present in mixture so because the reduction took place by mixture itself, hence is known as self reduction. \[2PbO+PbS\xrightarrow{\Delta }3Pb+S{{O}_{2}}\uparrow \] \[PbS{{O}_{4}}+PbS\xrightarrow{\Delta }2Pb+2S{{O}_{2}}\uparrow \]
