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] |
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) .
(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) .
(C) Bauxite:
Bauxite is the principal ore of aluminum, consisting largely of hydrated aluminum oxides.
Therefore, Bauxite corresponds to (p) .
(D) Dolomite:
Dolomite is an anhydrous carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate.
Therefore, Dolomite corresponds to (r) .
Matching these together gives:
(A) - (q)
(B) - (s)
(C) - (p)
(D) - (r)
