Two ores A and B were taken. On heating ore A gives C02 whereas, ore B gives S02. What steps will you take to convert them into metals?

Answer:

Since ore A gives C02 and ore B gives S02. Therefore, ores are MCO3 and MS.
As A is a carbonate ore, it is first subjected to calcination followed by reduction.
