    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. \[2FeS+3{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}2FeO+2S{{O}_{2}}\] \[FeO+\underset{silica}{\mathop{Si{{O}_{2}}}}\,\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}~\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  ferrous\text{ }silicate \\  \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,(slag) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{FeSi{{O}_{3}}}}\,\]
