General Principles And Processes Of Isolation Of Elements Intext Questions are very important for NEET, JEE as well as AIIMS exam. This is because it has many questions based on isolation of elements like hydrogen, chlorine, bromine and iodine from their respective mixtures. It tests your ability to isolate these elements through tests like vaporization, electrolysis and bulb method.
General Principles And Processes Of Isolation Of Elements Intext Questions (Extraction of Crude Metal from Concentrated Ore)
1. Which of the following statements is wrong?
a) During smelting, flux is used to remove gangue as slag
