A) copper (I) sulphide \[(C{{u}_{2}}S)\]
B) sulphur dioxide \[(C{{O}_{2}})\]
C) iron sulphide (FeS)
D) carbon monoxide (CO)
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
In the extraction of copper from its sulphide ore, when ore is subjected to roasting, some of it is oxidised to\[C{{u}_{2}}O\] which reacts with the remaining \[C{{u}_{2}}S\] (sulphide ore) to give copper metal.\[C{{u}_{2}}S+2C{{u}_{2}}O\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}6Cu+S{{O}_{2}}\uparrow \]In this process \[C{{u}_{2}}S\] behaves as reducing agent.
