To extract copper from its ore, the following steps are involved along with the respective reactions: ### Step 1: Roasting of Copper (I) Sulphide - **Reaction**: When copper (I) sulphide (Cu₂S) is roasted in the presence of oxygen (O₂), it undergoes oxidation to form copper (I) oxide (Cu₂O) and sulfur dioxide (SO₂). \[ 2 \text{Cu}_2\text{S} + 3 \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2 \text{Cu}_2\text{O} + 2 \text{SO}_2 \] ...
