    The first step in the extraction of Cu from copper pyrites is

    A)  reduction by carbon

    B)  electrolysis of ore

    C)  roasting of ore in\[{{O}_{2}}\]

    D)  magnetic separation

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     The first step of an extraction process is ore concentration which is done by magnetic separation and froth floatation in the extraction of copper from copper pyrites. Then the ore roasted in\[{{O}_{2}}\]. \[\underset{copper\,pyrite}{\mathop{2CuFe{{S}_{2}}}}\,+{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}C{{u}_{2}}S+2FeS+S{{O}_{2}}\]
