Assertion (A): Magnesia-carbon refractories are used in steelmaking despite carbon oxidising readily.
Reason (R): The carbon prevents slag from wetting and penetrating the brick.

  • A.A is true but R is false
  • B.A is false but R is true
  • C.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • D.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

Answer: C

Both are true and the reason gives the benefit that justifies the risk: resistance to slag penetration extends lining life considerably, and antioxidants are added to slow the oxidation that would otherwise consume the carbon.
