    During the extraction of copper, the impurity \[(FeS)\]is removed as slag by mixing the contaminated copper ore with silica and coke. The molecular formula of slag is

    A) \[~FeSi{{O}_{3}}\]       

    B) \[~F{{e}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[FeSi\](solid)   

    D) \[~FeSi\] (vapour)

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     During the extraction of copper the impurity \[(FeS)\] is removed as slag by mixing the contaminated copper ore with silica and coke. \[2FeS+3{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}2FeO+2S{{O}_{2}}\] \[FeO+\underset{\text{silica}}{\mathop{Si{{O}_{2}}}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \text{Ferrous}\,\text{silicate} \\  \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\text{(slag)} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{FeSi{{O}_{3}}}}\,\]
