Extraction of Metals at the middle of the activity Series of Medium Reactivity
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.
Which of the following are correct : (a) Sulphides are converted into oxides by roasting. (b) Carbonates are converted into oxides by calcinations. (c) The highly reactive metals such as sodium, calcium, aluminum etc, are used as reducing agents. | |||

10thMy 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.

8thAbhyas is an institute of high repute. Yogansh has taken admission last year. It creates abilities in child to prepare for competitive exams. Students are motivated by living prizes on basis of performance in Abhyas exams. He is satisfied with institute.

7thWhen 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.

7thThird 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 ...

10thBeing 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.
Prisha Gupta
8thIt 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.
Cheshta
10thAbhyas 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.

10thMy 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

9thUsually 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...

8thAbhyas 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.
Om Umang
10thA 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.

7thMy experience with Abhyas Academy has been very good. When I was not in Abhyas whenever teacher ask questions I could not speak it confidently but when I came in Abhyas, my speaking skills developed and now I am the first one to give the answer of teachers question.

7thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.

7thAbout Abhyas metholodology the teachers are very nice and hardworking toward students.The Centre Head Mrs Anu Sethi is also a brilliant teacher.Abhyas has taught me how to overcome problems and has always taken my doubts and suppoeted me.
Shreya Shrivastava
8thWe 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.
Manya
8thAbhyas 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.
