Question
Chapter 23, Problem 9QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The main steps used in the purification of metals are to be described.
Concept introduction:
The naturally occurring chemical substances in the form of which metals occur in earth, along with impurities, are called minerals.
A mineral from which a metal is economically and conveniently extracted is called an ore. An ore contains many impurities that are removed by purification.
The impurities of metals are removed by purification processes.
The three steps of purification are distillation, electrolytic refining, and zone refining.
