In the extraction of copper from its sulphide ore, the metal is finally obtained by the reduction of cuprous oxide with
Copper (I) sulphide (Cu2S)
sulphur dioxide (SO2)
Iron sulphide (FeS)
Iron sulphide (FeS)
A.
Copper (I) sulphide (Cu2S)
In the extraction of copper from its sulphide ore, when ore is subjected to roasting, some of it is oxidised to Cu2O which reacts with the remaining Cu2S (sulphide ore) to give copper metal.
Cu2S +2Cu2O → 6Cu +SO2 ↑
In this process, Cu2S behaves as reducing agent.
