The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the chemical treatment of ore for concentration, we will analyze each of the given options: Aluminum, Silver, Copper, and Gold. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Concentration of Ore**: - Concentration of ore is the process of removing impurities from the ore to obtain a purer form of the desired metal. This can be done through physical methods or chemical methods (leaching). 2. **Analyzing Aluminum**: - The ore of Aluminum is Bauxite. - The extraction involves treating Bauxite with Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) at high temperatures (473 to 523 K), which leads to the formation of sodium methaaluminate. - This process is a chemical treatment, thus Aluminum involves chemical treatment for concentration. 3. **Analyzing Silver**: - Silver is extracted using the cyanide process, where impure silver is treated with sodium cyanide in the presence of water and oxygen to form a soluble complex. - This complex is then treated with zinc to obtain pure silver. - Therefore, Silver also involves chemical treatment for concentration. 4. **Analyzing Copper**: - Copper is extracted from its ore (like Copper carbonate) through a process called calcination, which involves heating the ore to convert it into copper oxide. - This process does not involve leaching or chemical treatment in the same way as Aluminum or Silver, so Copper does not qualify. 5. **Analyzing Gold**: - Gold is also extracted using the cyanide process, similar to Silver. Impure gold is treated with sodium cyanide and forms a soluble complex, which is then reduced to obtain pure gold. - Thus, Gold also involves chemical treatment for concentration. 6. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the metals that undergo chemical treatment for concentration are Aluminum, Silver, and Gold. Copper does not undergo chemical treatment for concentration. ### Final Answer: The chemical treatment of the ore for concentration is done in the case of **Aluminum, Silver, and Gold**. ---
