Shouldn't the answers be 1-b,2-c and 3-c.
As far as i knew,
1. 2ZnS+3O2→2ZnO+2SO2,
ZnO+C→Zn+CO
are the reactions taking place in metallurgy of Zn.
2. Chalcopyrite or Copper pyrites(CuFeS2) should be the right answer for 2.
3. Dow's sea water process for extraction of Mg involves electrolysis of aq soln of MgCl2 alongwith NaCl which is added to increase the conductivity of the electrolyte.
