    Identify the reaction that doesnt take place during the smelting process of copper extraction :

    A)  \[2FeS+3{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}2FeO+3S{{O}_{2}}\uparrow \]

    B)  \[C{{u}_{2}}O+FeS\xrightarrow{{}}C{{u}_{2}}S+FeO\]

    C)  \[2C{{u}_{2}}S+3{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}2C{{u}_{2}}O+2S{{O}_{2}}\uparrow \]

    D)  \[FeO+Si{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}FeSi{{O}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The reaction\[2FeS+3{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}2FeO+2S{{O}_{2}}\uparrow \]occurs during roasting of pyrites ore. Roasting is the process of heating concentrated ore in the stream of air to convert it into oxide.
