An ore (X) gives a d-block metal (M) in elemental form following a metallurgical process. Which of the following sets of X / M / Chemical process is correct?
- 1Molybdenite / Molybdenum / 2MoS2 + 7O2 → 2MoO3 + 4SO2 followed by reduction of MoO3 with carbon.
- 2Rutile / Titanium / TiO2 + 4HCl (conc.) → TiCl4 + 2H2O followed by electrolytic reduction of TiCl4.
- 3Rutile / Titanium / TiO2 + 2C + 2Cl2 → TiCl4 + 2CO, followed by reduction of TiCl4 with Na or Mg.✓
- 4Ilmenite / Titanium / 2FeTiO3 + Mg + O2 → 2TiO2 + MgO + Fe2O3 followed by reduction of TiO2 with Mg.
Correct answer
Rutile / Titanium / TiO2 + 2C + 2Cl2 → TiCl4 + 2CO, followed by reduction of TiCl4 with Na or Mg.
