Answer:

The entropy change for a real, irreversible process is equal to zero.

The correct option is 'c'.

Explanation:

Lets look around all the given options -:

(a) the entropy change for a theoretical reversible process with the same initial and final states , since the entropy change is equal and opposite in reversible process , thus this option in not correct.

(b) equal to the entropy change for the same process performed reversibly ONLY if the process can be reversed at all. Since , the change is same as well as opposite too . Therefore , this statement is also not true .

(c) zero. This option is true because We generate more entropy in an irreversible process. Because no heat moves into or out of the surroundings during the procedure, the entropy change of the surroundings is zero.

(d) impossible to tell. This option is invalid , thus incorrect .

Hence , the correct option is 'c' that is zero.

Explain this method (Froth floatation method)..........

Svetach [21]

Answer:

froth flotation is a technique commonly used in the mining industry. In this technique, particles of interest are physically separated from a liquid phase as a result of differences in the ability of air bubbles to selectively adhere to the surface of the particles, based upon their hydrophobicity.

Explanation:

Froth floatation method is commonly used to concentrate sulphide ore such as galena (PbS), zinc blende (ZnS) etc. (ii) In this method, the metaalic ore particles which are perferentially wetted by oil can be separated from gangue. (iii) In this method, the crushed ore is suspended in water and mixed with frothing agent such as pine oil, eucalyptus oil etc. (iv) A small quantity of sodium ethyl xanthate which act as a collector is also added. (v) A froth is generated by blowing air through this mixture. (vi) The collector molecules attach to the ore particles and make them water repellent. (vii) As a result, ore parrticles, wetted by the oil, rise to the surface along with the froth. (viii) The froth is skimmed off and dried to recover the concentration ore. (ix) The gangue particles that are preferentially wetted by water settle at the bottom.
