- (а) Give an example of zone refining of metals. (b) What is the role of cryolite in the metallurgy of aluminium?arrow_forwardWhen aluminum replaces up to half of the silicon atomsin SiO2, a mineral class called feldspars result. The feldspars are the most abundant rock-forming minerals, comprisingabout 50% of the minerals in Earth’s crust. Orthoclase is afeldspar in which Al replaces one-fourth of the Si atoms ofSiO2, and charge balance is completed by K+ ions. Determinethe chemical formula for orthoclase.arrow_forwardSilicon carbide (SiC) is made by the high-temperature reaction of silica sand (quartz) with coke; the byproduct is carbon monoxide.(a) Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction.(b) Calculate the standard enthalpy change per mole of SiC produced.(c) Predict (qualitatively) the following physical properties of silicon carbide: conductivity, melting point, and hardness.arrow_forward
