Question
In the extraction of Cu the reaction takes place in Bessemer converter is :
Options
A.2Cu2O + Cu2S → 6Cu + SO2.
B.2CuFeS2 + O2 → Cu2S + FeS + SO2
C.2Cu2S + 3O2 → 2Cu2O + 2SO2
D.2FeS + 3O2 → 2FeO + 2SO2
Solution
Bessemer convertor
Reactions involved :
2FeS + 3O2 → 2FeO + 2SO2 ; FeO + SiO2 → FeSiO3
2Cu2S + 3O2 → 2Cu2O + 2SO2 ; 2Cu2O + Cu2S → 6Cu + SO2 (self reduction)
