(vi) In Bessenmerisation of sulphide ore of copper, there is self-reduction giving copper metal.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
1
During Bessemerisation, a part of `Cu_(2)S` is oxidised to `Cu_(2) O` which then reduces `Cu_(2)S` to copper metal `Cu_(2)S + 2Cu_(2)O rarr 6 Cu + SO_(2)`.
