Pb and Sn are extracted from their chief ore by

A

Carbon reduction and self reduction.

B

Self reduction and carbon reduction.

C

Electrolysis and self reduction.

D

Self reduction and electrolysis.

(IIT-2004)

Solution

(b)$PbO$ & $PbS{O_4}$ get reduced by $PbS$  itself which is already present in mixture so because the reduction took place by mixture itself, hence is known as self reduction.

$2PbO + PbS  \xrightarrow{\Delta}   3Pb + S{O_2} \uparrow $

$PbS{O_4} + PbS   \xrightarrow{\Delta}    2Pb + 2S{O_2} \uparrow $
