General Principles of Isolation of Elements

AIPMT 2003MCQEasyNot asked in last 5 yrs+4−1
Ques. 1AIPMT 2003

The method of zone refining of metals is based on the principle of

  1. greater mobility of the pure metal than that of the impurity
  2. higher melting point of the impurity than that of the pure metal
  3. greater noble character of the solid metal than that of the impurity
  4. greater solubility of the impurity in the molten state than in the solid

Answer

(4) greater solubility of the impurity in the molten state than in the solid

Solution

As per NCERT, zone refining is based on the principle that the impurities are more soluble in the melt than in the solid state of the metal.

A circular heater moves along the rod, and as the molten zone moves forward, pure metal crystallises out behind it while the impurities pass on into the adjacent molten zone.

Repeating the process sweeps the impurities to one end, which is cut off.

∴ Zone refining depends on the greater solubility of the impurity in the molten state than in the solid.
