Explain the reduction process involved in the extraction of zinc.
(N/A) Method: The reduction of zinc oxide $(ZnO)$ is carried out using coke $(C)$. In this case,the temperature is higher than that used in the case of copper.
For the purpose of heating,the oxide is made into brickettes with coke and clay.
Reaction: $ZnO + C \rightarrow Zn + CO$
The metal is distilled off and collected by rapid chilling.
