कल्सिनेशन प्रक्रियेतून ________ बाहर पडतो. During calcination process

1)फक्त कार्बनडायऑक्साईड बाहेर पडतो / Only CO2 is given out
2)फक्त हैड्रेटमधून पाणी बाहेर पडते / Only H2O from hydrates is given out
3)(1) किंवा (2) हे धातूकांवर अवलंबुन असते / (1) or (2), depending on type of ore✓ Correct
4)हायड्रोजन सल्फाईड बाहेर पडतो / H2S is given out

During calcination, ores are heated strongly below their melting point in the absence of air. Depending on the ore type, it can release carbon dioxide (from carbonates) or water (from hydrated oxides).

खालीलपैकी कोणती/त्या धातुंची/च्या जोडी/जोड्या त्यांच्या खनिजांपासून वेगळे करण्यासाठी साईनाईड जटिल आयनचे द्रावण वापरतात ? / Which of the following pair/pairs of metal/metals can be extracted from their ores by using cyanide complex solutions ?

(a)Cu आणि Au / Cu and Au

(b)Co आणि Ag / Co and Ag

(c)Au आणि Ag / Au and Ag

(d)Na आणि Hg / Na and Hg

1)दोनों (A) आणि (B) / Both (A) and (B)
2)फक्त (C) / Only (C)✓ Correct
3)फक्त (D) / Only (D)
4)दोनों (C) आणि (D) / Both (C) and (D)

Cyanide process (MacArthur-Forrest cyanide process) is a hydrometallurgical technique used for extracting precious metals like Gold (Au) and Silver (Ag) from their ores.
