The correct Answer is:
To convert chromite (FeCr₂O₄) to chromium (Cr) through the specified steps, we can break down the process as follows: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Step I: Conversion of Chromite to Sodium Chromate** - **Reaction**: FeCr₂O₄ + NaOH + O₂ (from air) → Na₂CrO₄ + Fe₂O₃ + H₂O - **Reagent**: Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) and Oxygen (O₂) from air. - **Explanation**: Chromite is treated with sodium hydroxide in the presence of air. This leads to the formation of sodium chromate (Na₂CrO₄) and iron(III) oxide (Fe₂O₃). 2. **Step II: Conversion of Sodium Chromate to Chromium Trioxide** - **Reaction**: 2 Na₂CrO₄ + C → Cr₂O₃ + 2 Na₂CO₃ - **Reagent**: Carbon (C). - **Explanation**: The sodium chromate is then heated with carbon, which reduces the chromate to chromium(III) oxide (Cr₂O₃) while producing sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃). 3. **Step III: Reduction of Chromium Trioxide to Chromium** - **Reaction**: Cr₂O₃ + 2 Al → 2 Cr + Al₂O₃ - **Reagent**: Aluminium (Al). - **Explanation**: Finally, chromium(III) oxide is reduced to metallic chromium using aluminium as a reducing agent. ### Summary of Reagents: - **Step I**: Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) and Oxygen (O₂) - **Step II**: Carbon (C) - **Step III**: Aluminium (Al) ### Final Answer: The reagents in steps I, II, and III are Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH), Carbon (C), and Aluminium (Al) respectively. ---
