Extraction of copper by smelting uses silica as an additive to remove
A
$Cu_2O$
B
$FeS$
C
$FeO$
D
$Cu_2S$
(JEE MAIN-2016)
Solution
$FeO$ is gangue and $SiO_2$ is flux to form slag $FeSiO_3$
$\mathop {FeO}\limits_{{\text{Basic impurity}}} + \mathop {Si{O_2}}\limits_{{\text{acidic flux}}} \longrightarrow \mathop {FeSi{O_3}}\limits_{{\text{slag}}} $
