correct increasing order of their first ionization
enthalpy is :
(1) Mg < Al < Si < S < P 4. Which of the following ore is concentrated
(2) Al < Mg < Si < S < P using group 1 cyanide salt ?
(3) Mg < Al < Si < P < S
(1) Sphalerite (2) Calamine
(4) Al < Mg < S < Si < P
Official Ans. by NTA (2) (3) Siderite (4) Malachite
Sol. In general from left to right in a period, Official Ans. by NTA (1)
ionistion enthalpy increases due to effective Sol. Sphalerite ore : ZnS
nuclear charge increases. Calamine ore : ZnCO3
but due to extra stability of half filled and full Siderite ore : FeCO3
filled electronic configuration, required Malachite ore : Cu(OH)2.CuCO3
ionisation enthalpy is more from neighbouring It is possible to separate two sulphide ores by
elements. adjusting proportion of oil to water or by using
i.e. first ionisation enthalpy order is 'depressants'. In case of an ore containing ZnS
Al < Mg < Si < S < P and PbS, the depressant used is NaCN.
