Question Details

Match the following.


Column I
(Ores)

Column II
(Formula)
(A) Fluorspar (p) Al2O3.2H2O
(B) Cryolite (q) CaF2
(C) Bauxite (r) MgCO3.CaCO3
(D) Dolomite (s) Na3[AIF6]

Options

A

(A)-(s); (B)-(q); (C)–(r); D-(p)

B

(A)-(q); (B)-(s); (C)–(p); D-(r)

C

(A)-(p); (B)-(q); (C)–(s); D-(r)

D

(A)-(q); (B)-(s); (C)–(r); D-(p)

Correct Answer :

(A)-(q); (B)-(s); (C)–(p); D-(r)

Solution :

The correct option is (A)-(q); (B)-(s); (C)–(p); D-(r).

Let us match the ores listed in Column I with their corresponding chemical formulas in Column II:

(A) Fluorspar:
Fluorspar (also known as fluorite) is a mineral composed of calcium fluoride.
Therefore, Fluorspar corresponds to (q) CaF2.

(B) Cryolite:
Cryolite is an uncommon mineral identified as sodium hexafluoroaluminate. It is widely used in the electrolytic production of aluminum.
Therefore, Cryolite corresponds to (s) Na3[AlF6].

(C) Bauxite:
Bauxite is the principal ore of aluminum, consisting largely of hydrated aluminum oxides.
Therefore, Bauxite corresponds to (p) Al2O3·2H2O.

(D) Dolomite:
Dolomite is an anhydrous carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate.
Therefore, Dolomite corresponds to (r) MgCO3·CaCO3.

Matching these together gives:
(A) - (q)
(B) - (s)
(C) - (p)
(D) - (r)
