Which of the following statements, about the advantage of roasting of sulphide ore before reduction is not true?

  • Carbon and hydrogen are suitable reducing agent for metal sulphides

  • The ΔfGo of the sulphide is greater than those for CS2 and H2S

  • The ΔfGo  is negative for roasting of sulphide ore to oxide

  • Roasting of the sulphide to the oxide is thermodynamically feasible

Solution

A.

Carbon and hydrogen are suitable reducing agent for metal sulphides
