उत्तर
Zinc oxide is reduced to zinc by heating it with carbon.
\[\ce{\underset{\text{Zinc oxide}}{ZnO_{(s)}} + \underset{\text{Carbon}}{C_{(s)}} ->[Heat] \underset{\text{Zinc}}{Zn_{(s)}} + \underset{\text{Carbon monoxide}}{CO↑}}\]

Metals X and Y can be recovered from the anode mud left behind after the electrolytic refining of copper metal. The coins made of metal X look new even after several years of use but the coins made of metal Y lose their shine gradually and get blackened soon. When metal X is alloyed with a small amount of metal Y, it becomes hard and hence suitable for making ornaments. What are metals X and Y? Also state the colour of metal X.

Identify the process given in following passage and draw neat labelled diagram showing the process.
Electrolysis of molten mixture of alumina (melting point > 20000C) is done in a steel tank. The tank has a graphite lining on the inner side. This lining does the work of a cathode. A set of graphite rods dipped in the molten electrolyte works as anode. Cryolite (Na3AlF6) and fluorspar (CaF2) are added in the mixture to lower its melting point upto 10000C.
