The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the effects of gases emitted during roasting and calcination, we will analyze the processes involved and the resulting emissions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Calcination**: - Calcination is the process of heating an ore in the absence of oxygen or in a limited supply of oxygen. - This process typically converts carbonate ores into oxides and releases carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. - **Example**: Heating calcium carbonate (CaCO3) results in calcium oxide (CaO) and CO2. 2. **Understanding Roasting**: - Roasting involves heating an ore in the presence of oxygen. - This process converts sulfide ores into oxides and releases sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas. - **Example**: Heating zinc sulfide (ZnS) in the presence of oxygen produces zinc oxide (ZnO) and SO2. 3. **Identifying Emitted Gases**: - From calcination, the emitted gas is CO2. - From roasting, the emitted gas is SO2. 4. **Analyzing the Effects of Emitted Gases**: - **Effect of CO2**: - CO2 is a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming by trapping heat in the atmosphere. - **Effect of SO2**: - SO2 can react with water in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid (H2SO4), leading to acid rain. 5. **Conclusion**: - The gases emitted during roasting and calcination lead to two significant environmental effects: global warming (due to CO2) and acid rain (due to SO2). - Therefore, the correct answer to the question is: **Global warming and acid rain**. ### Final Answer: The effects produced by the gases emitted during roasting and calcination are **global warming and acid rain**. ---
