Question

Which of the following factors is of no significance for roasting sulphide ores to the oxidexs and not subjecting the sulphide ores to carbon reduction directly?

Solution

Correct option is

Metal sulphides are less stable then the corresponding oxides

 

The value of ∆G for the formation of CO2 is negative, ie, it is thermodynamically more stable than CS2. Also metal sulphides are thermodynamically more stable than CS2. Metal sulphides are more stable than the corresponding oxides, so they are roasted to convert into less stable oxides.
