Alumino-thermic process is used for the metallurgy of:

Which of the following statements is correct regarding the slag formation during the extraction of a metal like copper or iron?

Alumino-thermic process is used for the extraction of metals,whose oxides are

Consider the following metallurgical processes:
$(i)$ Heating impure metal with $CO$ and distilling the resulting volatile carbonyl (boiling point $43\,^{\circ}C$) and finally decomposing at $150\,^{\circ}C$ to $200\,^{\circ}C$ to get the pure metal.
$(ii)$ Heating the sulphide ore in air until a part is converted to oxide and then further heating in the absence of air to let the oxide react with unchanged sulphide.
$(iii)$ Electrolysing the molten electrolyte containing approximately equal amounts of the metal chloride and $CaCl_2$ to obtain the metal.
The processes used for obtaining sodium,nickel and copper are,respectively,

In the process of leaching of gold by cyanide,what are the complexes $X$ and $Y$ respectively?
$4Au(s) + 8CN^-(aq) + 2H_2O(aq) + O_2(g) \to 4[Au(CN)_2]^-(aq) + 4OH^-(aq)$
$2[Au(CN)_2]^-(aq) + Zn(s) \to [Zn(CN)_4]^{2-}(aq) + 2Au(s)$
$X$ and $Y$ are:
