The set having incorrect statements is
1.the Hall-Heroult process is used for the production of aluminium and iron
2.pig iron is obtained from cast iron
3.the blistered appearance of copper during the metallurgical process is due to the evolution of C O 2
4.leaching of bauxite using concentrated NaOH solution gives sodium aluminate and sodium silicate

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Here only statement 4 is correct while rest are incorrect as
Hall-Heroult process is used for production of only aluminium.
Cast iron is obtained from pig iron
Pig iron4%→blast of air castiron3%
The blistered appearance of copper during the metallurgical process is due to the evoluation of S O 2 .
Cu2S+2Cu2O→6Cu+SO2
During leaching when bauxite is treated with concentrated NaOH, then sodium aluminate and sodium silicate is formed in the soluble form, whereas F e 2 O 3 is precipitated.
