Question

In the extraction of copper from its sulphide ore, metal is finally obtained by the oxidation of cuprous sulphide with : (A) Fe2O3 (B) Cu2O (C) SO2 (D) CO

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In the extraction of copper from its sulphide ore, copper is obtained finally by oxidation of cuprous sulphide with

C u_{2} O

.

C u_{2} S + \frac{3}{2} O_{2} \to C u_{2} O + S O_{2} ↑

C u_{2} S + 2 C u_{2} O \to 6 C u (I) + S O_{2} ↑

Q. In the extraction of copper from its sulphide ore, metal is finally obtained by the oxidation of cuprous sulphide with :

$F e_{2} O_{3}$

$C u_{2} O$

$S O_{2}$

$CO$

In the extraction of copper from its sulphide ore, copper is obtained finally by oxidation of cuprous sulphide with $C u_{2} O$ .

$C u_{2} S + \frac{3}{2} O_{2} \to C u_{2} O + S O_{2} ↑$

$C u_{2} S + 2 C u_{2} O \to 6 C u (I) + S O_{2} ↑$
