The correct Answer is:
To determine how many of the given metals use carbon reduction during their extraction, we will analyze each metal one by one: 1. **Silver (Ag)**: Silver is extracted using the MacArthur cyanide process, which does not involve carbon reduction. Therefore, Ag does not count. 2. **Gold (Au)**: Similar to silver, gold is also extracted using the MacArthur cyanide process, which does not involve carbon reduction. Therefore, Au does not count. 3. **Iron (Fe)**: Iron is extracted from its ore (Fe2O3) using carbon reduction. The reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3 + 3\text{C} \rightarrow 2\text{Fe} + 3\text{CO} \] Thus, Fe counts. 4. **Tin (Sn)**: Tin is extracted from its oxide (SnO2) using carbon reduction. The reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{SnO}_2 + 2\text{C} \rightarrow \text{Sn} + 2\text{CO} \] Thus, Sn counts. 5. **Zinc (Zn)**: Zinc is extracted from its oxide (ZnO) using carbon reduction. The reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{ZnO} + \text{C} \rightarrow \text{Zn} + \text{CO} \] Thus, Zn counts. 6. **Lead (Pb)**: Lead is extracted from its oxide (PbO) using carbon reduction. The reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{PbO} + \text{C} \rightarrow \text{Pb} + \text{CO} \] Thus, Pb counts. 7. **Aluminum (Al)**: Aluminum is extracted using the Hall-Héroult process, which involves electrolysis rather than carbon reduction. Therefore, Al does not count. Now, we can summarize the metals that use carbon reduction during their extraction: - Iron (Fe) - Tin (Sn) - Zinc (Zn) - Lead (Pb) Therefore, the total number of metals that use carbon reduction in their extraction is **4**. ### Final Answer: **4 metals (Fe, Sn, Zn, Pb) use carbon reduction during their extraction.**
