Reduction of metal sulphides directly with carbon is not possible. Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In the reduction of metal sulphides with carbon, carbon disulphide `(CS_(2))` is supposed to be formed . `CS_(2)` is thermodynamically less stable than metal sulphides. Thus reduction of metal sulphides directly with carbon is not possible
