Best answer

Answer: 4. Pig iron can be moulded into a variety of shapes.

Check each statement.

  • (1) Wrought iron is the purest form of iron (about 0.2% carbon), not 4%. Wrong.
  • (2) Blister copper gets its appearance from escape of \(\mathrm{SO_2}\), not \(\mathrm{CO_2}\). Wrong.
  • (3) Nickel is refined by the Mond process; Van Arkel is for Zr and Ti. Wrong.
  • (4) Pig iron (about 4% carbon) is cast into moulds in many shapes. Correct.
