medium
In the extraction of copper from its sulphide ore, metal is finally obtained by the oxidation of cuprous sulphide with
A
$SO_2$
B
$Fe_2O_3$
C
$Cu_2O$
D
$CO$
(JEE MAIN-2018)
Solution
$C{u_2}S\, + \,2C{u_2}O \to 6Cu + S{O_2}$
It is an example ofauto-reduction, $CuO_2$ is reduced to copper metal.
