Is ore metal or non metal?
"Ore" is a mixture of some kind of metal that you are trying to extract, and the rock that is generally mixed in with it.
How do we get metals?
Metals are generally mined in the form of ore. Ore is processed to extract the metal from the ore (known as smelting)
What factors determines the method used to extract a metal?
Its position on the reactivity series. The more reactive the metal, the harder it is to extract from its ore.
What are the reasons for exploiting metal ores?
The obvious reason: the exploiter hopes to extract enough metal from the ore to turn a profit.
Is energy saved if we recycle metals?
Yes, you save all the energy that would have been needed to mine fresh ore from the ground and to extract the metal from that ore. The amount of energy needed to collect and sort the recycled metals is insignificant compared to this (especially for metals like aluminum that are very hard to extract from their ores).You only need to use the energy needed to melt the pure metal, which you would have needed anyway after extraction of new metal from fresh ore.
What does mining have to do with metal ores?
You have to mine the metal ore (an ore is a rock containing a metal compound) before you can extract the metal from it.
How is metal produced from ore?
The ore must be mined, or must be removed from the ground. Then the ore must be processed to extract the metal
What is the definition of refining an ore?
To refine an ore means to extract the valuable metal that is inside the ore.
Is ore metal or non metal?
"Ore" is a mixture of some kind of metal that you are trying to extract, and the rock that is generally mixed in with it.
Which metal ore do you mine to extract magnesium?
Dolomite
Why is it hard to extract a metal from its ore?
The ore contain frequently the metal in a compound and also have many impurities. The concentration of the metal is generally low.

What factors determines the method used to extract a metal?
Its position on the reactivity series. The more reactive the metal, the harder it is to extract from its ore.
Steel is made from the ore of which metal?
The answer is: iron
How can we extract metal from bauxite ore?
Extracting aluminum from bauxite ore requires a large amount of electricity.
Explain the steps that you must take place before an ore can be made into a prodoct?
To produce metal from an ore, the ore must be mined, or removed from the ground. Then the ore must be processed to extract the metal.
How much metal could you extract from 1000g of an ore containing 1 percent metal?
200g
