A. an acidic oxide

B. a basic oxide

C. a neutral oxide

D. an amphoteric oxide

D

Which of the following metals will liberate hydrogen from steam or dilute acid?

A. Copper

B. Iron

C. Lead

Coal fire should not be used in poorly ventilated rooms because ?

A. of the accumulation of CO2 which causes dep sleep

B. it is usually too hot

C. of the acumulation of CO which causes suffocation

B. coke

C. impure iron

D. calcium trioxosilicate (IV)

Detailed Solution

Blast furnace slag is a nonmetallic coproduct produced in the process. It consists primarily of silicates, aluminosilicates, and calcium-alumina-silicates
