Correct Answer - A`to`p,t ; B`to`p,t ; C`to` q ; D`to`s
(A)Gold dissolves in NaCN solution forming a soluble complex leaving behind impurities is called leaching process. Hence the extraction of gold is called hydrometallurgy.
(B)Insoluble copper pyrites dissolves in `H_2SO_4` forming soluble `CuSO_4` is called leaching. Hence the extraction of copper is called hydrometallurgy
(C )Reduction of `Fe_3O_4` by CO in blast furnace is smelting.
(D)Heating `MgCl_2 6H_2O` in dry HCl gas to convert into anhydrous `MgCl_2` is calcination.
