Problem 1 : Carbothermic reduction Carbothermic reduction is commonly used to produce metals from oxides. Calculate the heat required (in Kcal/Kg of Zinc) to produce Zinc from reduction of ZnO with carbon.The reactants, ZnO and C, enter at 250 °C , whereas Zinc vapor and CO gas leave at 1027 .use the following data:
