CHXII06:GENERAL PRINCIPLES AND PROCESSES OF ISOLATION OF ELEMENTS

321020 Copper is extracted from copper pyrites by heating in a Bessemer converter. The method is based on the principle that

1 iron has less affinity for oxygen than sulphur at high temperature
2 sulphur has less affinity for oxygen at high temperature
3 copper has more affinity for oxygen than sulphur at high temerature
4 copper has less affinity for oxygen than sulphur at high temperature.

321023 Statement A :
While the extraction of copper, one of the steps involved is
\(\rm{{\rm{C}}{{\rm{u}}_2}\;{\rm{S}} + 2{\rm{C}}{{\rm{u}}_2}{\rm{O}} \to 6{\rm{Cu}} + {\rm{S}}{{\rm{O}}_2}}\)
Statement B :
In this reaction, \(\mathrm{\mathrm{Cu}_{2} \mathrm{~S}}\) is the reducing agent whereas \(\mathrm{\mathrm{Cu}_{2} \mathrm{O}}\) is the oxidising agent.
