Roasting is a process in which the ore (mostly sulphide) is heated strongly in the presence of excess of air. The heating should be done at a temperature below the melting point of the ore. Select the correct statement:2PbS+3O2⟶A+2SO2 The name of A isSometimes roasting may not bring about complete oxidation:2CuFeS2+4O2⟶A+2FeO+3SO2 Find out A:

An Intiative by Sri Chaitanya
a
Roasting removes easily oxidisable volatile impurities like arsenic as As2O3, antimony as Sb2O3, and sulphur as SO2
b
The release of SO2 (in roasting process) has been a serious air pollution problem
c
In roasting process, if temperature is fairly low (about 500∘C and the concerntration of SO2 in the gaseous environment is more, suphate may be produced, that is stable, and high temperature is needed to decompose it
