Question:medium

The final step for the extraction of copper from copper pyrites in Bessemer converter involves the reaction.

Show Hint

This is called "poling" - reduction of Cu\(_2\)O by Cu\(_2\)S.

  • Cu\(_2\)S + 2FeO \(\rightarrow\) 2Cu + 2Fe + SO\(_2\)
  • Cu\(_2\)S + 2Cu\(_2\)O \(\rightarrow\) 6Cu + SO\(_2\)
  • 4Cu\(_2\)O + FeS \(\rightarrow\) 8Cu + 2FeSO\(_4\)
  • 2Cu\(_2\)O + FeS \(\rightarrow\) 4Cu + Fe + SO\(_2\)
Show Solution
