    An ore is a part of a piece of rock. - ProProfs

    An ore is a part of a piece of rock.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    An ore is a naturally occurring solid material that contains a valuable mineral, which can be extracted and processed for profit. It is typically found within rocks and is considered a part of the rock formation. Therefore, the statement that "an ore is a part of a piece of rock" is true.

    This is a mine. - ProProfs

    This is a mine.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement "This is a mine" is true. This implies that the object being referred to is indeed a mine.

    There are two ways to extract metals from an ore.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given statement is true. There are indeed two ways to extract metals from an ore. The first method is through the process of smelting, where the ore is heated at high temperatures to separate the metal from the impurities. The second method is through the process of leaching, where a solvent is used to dissolve the metal from the ore. Both methods are commonly used in the mining and metallurgical industries to obtain pure metals from their ores.

    Pure metals are stronger than alloys.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    This statement is false because alloys are generally stronger than pure metals. Alloys are made by combining two or more metals, which can result in a material with improved strength and other desirable properties. The addition of different elements in alloys can create a solid solution, which can enhance the strength and hardness of the material. Therefore, alloys are often preferred over pure metals in applications where strength is important.

    The picture shows a 

    Correct Answer
    Blast furnace
    Explanation
    The picture shows a blast furnace. A blast furnace is a type of metallurgical furnace used to produce industrial metals, such as iron, by extracting them from their ores. It is a large structure made of steel and lined with refractory bricks. The furnace operates by continuously feeding a mixture of iron ore, coke, and limestone into the top, while hot air is blown into the bottom. The intense heat generated inside the furnace melts the iron ore, which is then tapped off as molten iron. The blast furnace is a crucial component in the iron and steel industry.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Which of the following are alloys.

    • Bronze

    • Iron

    • Gold

    • Brass

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Bronze
    A. Brass
    Explanation
    The correct answer is bronze and brass. Both bronze and brass are alloys, which are metallic substances made by combining two or more elements, with at least one of them being a metal. Bronze is an alloy made primarily of copper and tin, while brass is an alloy made primarily of copper and zinc. Iron and gold, on the other hand, are not alloys. Iron is a pure metal, and gold is a precious metal found in its pure form.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Which of the following  are methods of extracting metals?

    • Tempering

    • Electrical process

    • Through heat in a tall metal tower (blast furnace)

    • Hardening

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Electrical process
    A. Through heat in a tall metal tower (blast furnace)
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "electrical process" and "through heat in a tall metal tower (blast furnace)". These are methods of extracting metals. The electrical process involves using electricity to separate the metal from its ore. This is commonly used for metals like aluminum. On the other hand, extracting metals through heat in a tall metal tower, also known as a blast furnace, is a common method used for extracting iron from its ore. In this process, the ore is heated with carbon and the metal is extracted as molten iron.
