Single correct option
Match the metal in List-I with the key step of its extraction in List-II.
List-I: (P) silver from argentite ore, ; (Q) copper from copper pyrites, ; (R) aluminium from alumina; (S) titanium from rutile, (after conversion to the tetrachloride)
List-II: (1) electrolysis of the oxide dissolved in molten cryolite; (2) auto-reduction of with in the Bessemer converter; (3) reduction with molten magnesium in an inert atmosphere; (4) displacement of the metal from its cyanide complex by zinc; (5) reduction with carbon in a blast furnace

Show answer and solution
Answer: (A) P→4, Q→2, R→1, S→3
(P) Silver sulphide is leached with dilute aqueous in air: ; the complex is then treated with zinc: 4.
(Q) Roasted copper matte contains and , which react by self (auto) reduction in the Bessemer converter: 2.
(R) Pure alumina dissolved in molten cryolite () with is electrolysed in the Hall-Heroult process 1.
(S) Titanium is obtained by the Kroll process, , under inert argon since forms nitride and oxide with air and carbon reduction gives carbide 3.
(5) is a distractor; none of the four metals is obtained by simple carbon reduction in a blast furnace (that is used for iron). Correct code: P→4, Q→2, R→1, S→3.
