The production of these base metals became closely intertwined because both were extracted from the same ores--although in different proportions.

How can zinc be separated from lead in the condenser?

In the blast furnace a mixed lead/zinc sinter is added and the lead bullion is tapped conventionally from the bottom of the furnace while metallic zinc vapour is distilled off and captured/condensed by a spray of molten lead droplets. A solution of zinc and lead leaving the condenser, when cooled this cool zinc can be floated off, while the lead is recirculated to the collector. Zinc being less dense can be continuously removed from the top layers.


Why does silver and zinc react?

Zinc is more reactive than Lead nitrate (See Displacement Series). Therefore, Zinc will displace lead in lead nitrate: Zn + Pb(NO3)2 -> Zn(NO3)2 + Pb


Which metal was often confused with lead and tin?

Zinc was often confused with lead and tin due to their similar appearances. However, zinc has a higher melting point than lead and tin, and it does not oxidize easily like lead and tin.


In A standard hydrogen half-cell is connected to a standard zinc half-cell. The zinc is oxidized and hydrogen ions are reduced. Which statement about the anode is true?

In a standard hydrogen half-cell connected to a standard zinc half-cell, the anode is the zinc half-cell where oxidation occurs. During this process, zinc is oxidized to zinc ions, releasing electrons. Therefore, the statement that is true about the anode is that it is where the oxidation of zinc takes place.


How many areas produce the minerals lead and zinc?

Lead and zinc are typically found together, so they are often produced in the same areas. Some of the major areas that produce lead and zinc minerals include Australia, China, Peru, and the United States.

Does zinc contain lead?

No, zinc does not contain lead. Zinc and lead are two different elements with distinct chemical properties.


Why is zinc used in desilverisation of lead?

Zinc is used in the desilverization of lead because zinc has a higher affinity for silver than lead does. When zinc is added to molten lead containing silver, zinc combines with silver to form a zinc-silver alloy, which then floats to the surface for easy removal, leaving behind lead that is desilverized.

What metal is a made up of the ores zinc and lead?

The metal made up of the ores zinc and lead is called galena. Galena is a sulfide mineral composed mainly of lead and can contain zinc as well.


How many companies produce lead and zinc?

Will a reaction take place if a strip of zinc metal is placed in a lead II sulfate solution?

Yes, a reaction will take place. The zinc metal will displace the lead in the lead(II) sulfate solution, forming zinc sulfate and lead metal. This is because zinc is higher in the reactivity series than lead.


What is the main ore in zinc?

Zinc is associated with copper and lead in sulfide minerals.


What is carbon rod connected to the negative terminal of the battery?

The negative terminal of a carbon/zinc cell is connected to the zinc cup that functions as the cathode. The carbon rod is the anode (positive).
