[1] (d) has a triple bond within its molecule, ………………….…. [1] (e) is an inert gas. ………………….…. [1] 2 Zinc smelting is a process that converts zinc concentrates ( ores that contain zinc) into pure zinc. One of the last stages involves purifying zinc by fractional distillation in a column made up of silicon carbide. The main impurities in zinc are shown in Table 2.1. Pure zinc has a boiling point of 908 oC. Table 2.1 impurities boiling point /oC cadmium 765 copper 2582 iron 2887 lead 1751 (a) State why it is possible to purify zinc by fractional distillation. ………………………………………………………………………………….……..[1] (b) When fractional distillation is carried out, which metal will be distilled first? …………………………………………………………………………………….…..[1] (c) How would you test if the zinc purified from the fractional distillation is free from any impurities?
