Question
What are the differences between minerals and ores?
Advertisements
Solution
Minerals:
- Minerals contain a low percentage of metal.
- Metal cannot be extracted easily from minerals.
- Clay \[\ce{Al2O3.SiO2.2H2O}\] is the mineral of aluminium.
Ores:
- Ores contain a large percentage of metal.
- Ores can be used for the extraction of metals on a large scale readily and economically.
- Bauxite \[\ce{Al2O3.2H2O}\] is the ore of aluminium.
