What happens to the formula of zinc oxide when heated?

Zinc Oxide is originally a white powder. When heated up, it turns yellow but does not decompose and when it is removed from the heat it gradually goes back to its original white colour. If you heat it strongly enough to very high tempereatures it will sublime without apparent decomposition. The reason for the yellow colour is that a minute amount of oxyegen evaporates from the lattice (70 ppm) the small number of zinc atoms produce lattice defects that give rise to the colour. Doping zinc oxide with minute traces of zinc will give a range of colours, yellow, green brown and red.


How can obtain zinc from zinc oxide?

According to the Wikipedia article on Zinc Oxide, ZnO decomposes into zinc vapor and oxygen only at around 1975 °C, reflecting its considerable stability. Heating with carbon converts the oxide into the metal, which is more volatile than the oxide, and also produces carbon monoxide. ZnO + C ---> Zn + CO


How do you get zinc from zinc blende?

Zinc can be obtained from zinc blende (also known as sphalerite) through a process called roasting. First, the zinc blende is heated in the presence of oxygen to convert it into zinc oxide. Then, the zinc oxide is further heated with coke (a form of carbon) to reduce it to metallic zinc, which can be collected for further use.
