Extraction of Metals (At the middle of the activity Series) of Medium Reactivity:
The metals in the middle of the activity series as iron, zinc, lead, copper etc. are moderately reactive. These metals are usually present as sulphides or carbonates in nature. These sulphides or carbonates are first converted into oxides because it is easy to exact metals from its oxide. Sulphides are converted into oxides by roasting and carbonates are converted into oxides by calcinations. The metal oxides thus obtained are then reduced to the corresponding metals by reduction using suitable reducing agents such as carbon. Chemical Reactions involved in the extraction of zinc are as follows:
Roasting: It is the process in which sulphide ore is heated below its melting point in the presence of air to convert it into metal oxide. Sulphur impurities escape as gas.e.g.
Calcination: It is the process in which carbonate ore is heated below its melting point in the absence of air to convert it into metal oxide. For eg:
Reduction of oxide: It is the process of conversion of metal oxide ore into metal. It can be done by heating the oxides.Sometimes displacement reactions can also be used to reduce metal oxide.
The highly reactive metals such as sodium, calcium, aluminum etc, are used as reducing agents because they can displace metals of lower reactivity from their compounds, e.g. reaction of manganese dioxide with aluminum powder.
These displacement reactions are highly exothermic. The amount of heat produced is so high that the metals are produced in the molten state.The reaction of iron (III) oxide () with aluminum to produce iron is used to join railway tracks or cracked machine parts. This process is called thermite welding.
This reaction of metal oxide to form metal by using aluminum powder as a reducing agent is known as thermite reaction. The mixture of iron oxide and aluminium powder is called thermite.

It was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.
When I have not joined Abhyas Academy, my skills of solving maths problems were not clear. But, after joining it, my skills have been developed and my concepts of science and SST are very well. I also came to know about other subjects such as vedic maths and reasoning.
One of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.
Abhyas academy is great place to learn. I have learnt a lot here they have finished my fear of not answering.It has created a habit of self studying in me.The teachers here are very supportive and helpful. Earlier my maths and science was good but now it has been much better than before.
Third consective year,my ward is in Abhyas with nice experience of admin and transport support.Educational standard of the institute recumbent at satisfactory level. One thing would live to bring in notice that last year study books was distributed after half of the session was over,though study ...
My experience with Abhyas academy is very nice or it can be said wonderful. I have been studying here from seven class. I have been completing my journey of three years. I am tinking that I should join Abhyas Academy in tenth class as I am seeing much improvement in Maths and English
I have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
It was good as the experience because as we had come here we had been improved in a such envirnment created here.Extra is taught which is beneficial for future.
A marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.
In terms of methodology I want to say that institute provides expert guidence and results oriented monitering supplements by requsite study material along with regular tests which help the students to improve their education skills.The techniques of providing education helps the students to asses...
Abhyas is a complete education Institute. Here extreme care is taken by teacher with the help of regular exam. Extra classes also conducted by the institute, if the student is weak.
My experience was very good with Abhyas academy. I am studying here from 6th class and I am satisfied by its results in my life. I improved a lot here ahead of school syllabus.
Usually we see institutes offering objective based learning which usually causes a lag behind in subjective examinations which is the pattern followed by schools. I think it is really a work of planning to make us students grab the advantages of modes of examination, Objective Subjective and Onli...
My experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
Abhyas Methodology is very good. It is based on according to student and each child manages accordingly to its properly. Methodology has improved the abilities of students to shine them in future.
We started with lot of hope that Abhyas will help in better understnding of complex topics of highers classes. we are not disappointed with the progress our child has made after attending Abhyas. Though need to mention that we expected a lot more. On a scale of 1-10, we would give may be 7.
It has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice
The experience was nice. I studied here for three years and saw a tremendous change in myself. I started liking subjects like English and SST which earlier I ran from. Extra knowledge gave me confidence to overcome competitive exams. One of the best institutes for secondary education.
Being a parent, I saw my daughter improvement in her studies by seeing a good result in all day to day compititive exam TMO, NSO, IEO etc and as well as studies. I have got a fruitful result from my daughter.
Abhyas institute is one of the best coaching institute in the vicinity of Ambala Cantt area. The teachers of the institute are well experienced and very helpful in solving the problems of the students.The good thing of the institute is that it is providing extra classes for the students who are w...
