    Which of the following reaction is an example of calcination process?

    A) \[2Ag+2HCl+[O]\xrightarrow{{}}2AgCl+{{H}_{2}}O\]

    B) \[2Zn+{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}2ZnO\]

    C) \[2ZnS+3{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}2ZnO+2S{{O}_{2}}\]

    D) \[MgC{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{{}}MgO+C{{O}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The process of conversion of a concentrated on into its oxide by heating in absence or in limited supply of air is called calcination. It is usually done for hydroxide and carbonate ores. Thus, \[MgC{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{\Delta }MgO+C{{O}_{2}}\]is an example of calcination process.
