The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which set of oxides cannot be commercially reduced using the carbon reduction process, we will analyze each oxide listed in the options. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Carbon Reduction Process**: - The carbon reduction process is primarily used for the extraction of metals from their oxides by reducing them with carbon. This method is generally applicable to less electropositive metals. 2. **Analyzing Each Oxide**: - **(I) ZnO**: Zinc is a less electropositive metal, and its oxide can be reduced by carbon. This process is commercially applicable. - **(II) Fe₂O₃**: Iron is also a less electropositive metal, and its oxide can be reduced using carbon. This process is commercially applicable. - **(III) Al₂O₃**: Aluminum is a highly electropositive metal. The reduction of aluminum oxide requires very high temperatures (around 2000°C) and is not economical to perform using carbon. Therefore, this process is not commercially applicable. - **(IV) SnO₂**: Tin is a less electropositive metal, and its oxide can be reduced by carbon. This process is commercially applicable. - **(V) MgO**: Magnesium is a highly electropositive metal. Similar to aluminum, the reduction of magnesium oxide requires extremely high temperatures (around 2000°C) and is not economical to perform using carbon. Therefore, this process is not commercially applicable. 3. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the oxides for which the carbon reduction process is not commercially applicable are **Al₂O₃ (aluminum oxide)** and **MgO (magnesium oxide)**. ### Final Answer: The answer to the question is **(III) Al₂O₃ and (V) MgO**.
