Paragraph:
Copper is the most noble of the first row transition metals and occurs in small deposits in several countries. Ores of copper include chalcanthite \(\left(\mathrm{CuSO}_4 \cdot 5 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)\), atacamite \(\left(\mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{Cl}(\mathrm{OH})_3\right)\), cuprite \(\left(\mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)\), copper glance \(\left(\mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{~S}\right)\) and malachite \(\left(\mathrm{Cu}_2(\mathrm{OH})_2 \mathrm{CO}_3\right)\). However, 80\% of the world copper production comes from the ore chalcopyrite \(\left(\mathrm{CuFeS}_2\right)\). The extraction of copper from chalcopyrite involves partial roasting, removal of iron and self-reduction.
Question:
Partial roasting of chalcopyrite produces
- A \(\mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{~S}\) and \(\mathrm{FeO}\)
- B \(\mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{O}\) and \(\mathrm{FeO}\)
- C \(\mathrm{CuS}\) and \(\mathrm{Fe}_2 \mathrm{O}_3\)
- D \(\mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{O}\) and \(\mathrm{Fe}_2 \mathrm{O}_3\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{~S}\) and \(\mathrm{FeO}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(2 \mathrm{CuFeS}_2+4 \mathrm{O}_2 \longrightarrow \mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{~S}\) \(+2 \mathrm{FeO}+3 \mathrm{SO}_2\)
