    Slag formed during smelting process in the extraction of Fe (from haematite) and Cu (from copper pyrites) are respectively:

    A)  both \[CaSi{{O}_{3}}\]            

    B)  both \[FeSi{{O}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[CaSi{{O}_{3}}\] and \[FeSi{{O}_{3}}\]

    D)  \[FeSi{{O}_{3}}\] and \[CaSi{{O}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Extraction of Fe from haematite ore:                     \[CaC{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{\Delta }\,CaO+C{{O}_{2}};\] \[CaO+Si{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{\Delta }\,CaSi{{O}_{3}}\] Extraction of Cu from copper pyrites: \[2CuFe{{S}_{2}}+4{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{\Delta }\,C{{u}_{2}}S\,+2FeO\,+3S{{O}_{2}};\]\[FeO+Si{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{\Delta }\,FeSi{{O}_{3}}\]
