The correct Answer is:
To determine the ores of calcium from the given options, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Ores of Calcium**: - Ores are naturally occurring solid materials from which a metal or valuable mineral can be extracted profitably. For calcium, we are looking for compounds that contain calcium. 2. **Examine Option A**: - **Gypsum**: This is calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO4·2H2O). It contains calcium. - **Silomonide**: This is calcium borate (CaB6O5·H2O). It contains calcium. - **Hydrolith**: This is calcium hydride (CaH2). It contains calcium. - **Conclusion for Option A**: All three compounds contain calcium, making this option valid. 3. **Examine Option B**: - **Quick Lime**: This is calcium oxide (CaO). It contains calcium. - **Limestone**: This is calcium carbonate (CaCO3). It contains calcium. - **Pearl Ash**: This is potassium carbonate (K2CO3). It does not contain calcium. - **Conclusion for Option B**: Since pearl ash does not contain calcium, this option is invalid. 4. **Examine Option C**: - **Limestone**: This is calcium carbonate (CaCO3). It contains calcium. - **Fluorapatite**: This is calcium phosphate fluoride (Ca5(PO4)3F). It contains calcium. - **Feldspar**: This is a group of minerals that do not contain calcium (general formula K2O·Al2O3·6SiO2). - **Conclusion for Option C**: Since feldspar does not contain calcium, this option is invalid. 5. **Examine Option D**: - **Carnalite**: This is potassium magnesium chloride hydrate (KCl·MgCl2·6H2O). It does not contain calcium. - **Pearl Ash**: As discussed earlier, it does not contain calcium. - **Feldspar**: As discussed earlier, it does not contain calcium. - **Conclusion for Option D**: Since none of the compounds contain calcium, this option is invalid. 6. **Final Conclusion**: - The only option that contains ores of calcium is **Option A** (Gypsum, Silomonide, and Hydrolith). ### Final Answer: The ores of calcium are found in **Option A**.

To determine the ores of calcium from the given options, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Ores of Calcium**: - Ores are naturally occurring solid materials from which a metal or valuable mineral can be extracted profitably. For calcium, we are looking for compounds that contain calcium. 2. **Examine Option A**: ...
