$ZnO$

Vedclass · Answer

(B) Metals lying above $H$ in the electrochemical series are not obtained from their oxides by simple heating.On heating,$ZnO$ will not give $Zn$ metal because $Zn$ is a moderately reactive metal.However,it can be reduced with $C$ or $H_2$ to give the free metal:$ZnO + C ightarrow Zn + CO$$ZnO + CO ightarrow Zn + CO_2$$ZnO + H_2 \xrightarrow{	ext{above } 400^{\circ} C} Zn + H_2O$In contrast,$HgO$ and $Ag_2O$ are oxides of noble metals and decompose upon heating to give $Hg$ and $Ag$ respectively:$2HgO ightarrow 2Hg + O_2$$2Ag_2O ightarrow 4Ag + O_2$
