In liquation process used for tin

(Sn)

, the metal :

(A)is reacted with acid
(B)is dissolved in water
(C)is brought to molten form which is made to flow on a slope✓ Correct
(D)is fused with NaOH .

Answer: (C)

Solution

Liquation is a metallurgical process used for metals with low melting points, such as tin. The impure metal is heated until it melts. The molten metal flows down a sloped surface, leaving behind impurities with higher melting points at the top.
