Metal X is used in nature as its sulphide XS . It's is used in the galvanization of iron articles identify the metal X. How will you convert the sulphide ore into the metal ? Explain with equation.

Dear Student

The answer is Zinc(Zn). The Sulphide ore can be converted to the metal by a process of roasting to get the oxide followed by Carbon reduction to get the metal.

2 ZnS+ 3 O2 = 2 ZnO + 2 SO2     and ZnO + C = Zn + CO

Hope this helps!
Regards
