Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{I})\) of \(\mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{~S}\) and sulphide of \(\mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{~S}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{I})\) of \(\mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{O}(s)\) and \(\mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{~S}(s)\) undergoes reduction to form \(\mathrm{Cu}(s)\) while sulphide of \(\mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{~S}\) undergoes oxidation to form \(\mathrm{SO}_2(\mathrm{~g})\). Thus,…
