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 is lead ore?
There are several lead ores, the most well known being the sulfide (galena).
What is the origin of lead ore?
the origin of lead ore is contact metamorphic origin
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.
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.
Why can't you extract lead from lead oxide but you can with mercury and mercury oxide?
actually you can still extract lead from lead oxide, but you need to do this experiment with carbon or other reducing agent e.g. hydrogen and with a high temperature Celsius. But the reason that you can extract the mercury from the mercury oxides exactly is the higher reactivity of the lead. higher the reactivity means more difficult to extract the metals from the ore. so it is possible for lead to extract it from the lead oxide
Which ore is aluminum extract from?
which ore is aluminum extracted from
What is the definition of refining an ore?
To refine an ore means to extract the valuable metal that is inside the ore.
Where do you extract copper?
Copper Ore.
Is lead an ore?
Lead is not an ore. Lead is a metal which is obtained by refining lead ore (or which may be a byproduct of the refinement of other metals).
How can carbon be used to extract a metal from its ore?
Metals are extracted from ores. An ore is a rock that contains enough of a mineral (metal compound) for the metal to be extracted from it. Most metals are extracted from an ore by reduction with carbon or by electrolysis.
How do you take Ore out of the earth?
you extract it with a picaxe

What mineral has lead ore in it?
the mineral with the ore of lead is galena
How do you extract gold?
By reduction-oxidation reaction you can extract metals, including Gold, from ore.
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
