**Step-by-Step Text Solution:** 1. **Definition of Flux**: Flux is defined as a chemical substance that is added during the metallurgical process to facilitate the removal of impurities from ores. 2. **Function of Flux**: The primary role of flux is to combine with gangue (the impurities present in the ore) to form a fusible compound known as slag. This slag can then be easily removed from the ore particles. 3. **Examples of Flux**: - **Basic Flux**: An example of a basic flux is Calcium Oxide (CaO). When it reacts with Silicon Dioxide (SiO2), it forms Calcium Silicate (CaSiO3), which is the slag produced from this reaction. ...
