The correct Answer is:
To determine which reagents can produce copper metal when heated with `Cu2S`, we will analyze each option one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze `CuFeS2` (Chalcopyrite)**: - When `CuFeS2` is roasted in the presence of oxygen, it decomposes to form `Cu2S`, `FeS`, and `SO2`: \[ 2CuFeS_2 + 5O_2 \rightarrow 2Cu_2S + 2FeS + 4SO_2 \] - Since `Cu2S` is produced and does not yield copper metal directly upon further reaction, `CuFeS2` does not give copper metal when heated with `Cu2S`. - **Conclusion**: `CuFeS2` is **not** a valid reagent. 2. **Analyze `CuO` (Copper(II) oxide)**: - When `CuO` is heated, it decomposes to form `Cu2O` and oxygen: \[ 2CuO \rightarrow Cu_2O + O_2 \] - The `Cu2O` can then react with `Cu2S` to produce copper metal and sulfur dioxide: \[ Cu_2O + Cu_2S \rightarrow 4Cu + SO_2 \] - **Conclusion**: `CuO` can yield copper metal. 3. **Analyze `Cu2O` (Copper(I) oxide)**: - When `Cu2O` is heated with `Cu2S`, it directly produces copper metal and sulfur dioxide: \[ Cu_2O + Cu_2S \rightarrow 4Cu + SO_2 \] - **Conclusion**: `Cu2O` can yield copper metal. 4. **Analyze `CuSO4` (Copper(II) sulfate)**: - Upon heating, `CuSO4` decomposes to form `CuO`, `SO2`, and `O2`: \[ 2CuSO_4 \rightarrow 2CuO + SO_2 + O_2 \] - The `CuO` formed can further decompose to `Cu2O` and oxygen: \[ 2CuO \rightarrow Cu_2O + O_2 \] - Then, `Cu2O` can react with `Cu2S` to produce copper metal: \[ Cu_2O + Cu_2S \rightarrow 4Cu + SO_2 \] - **Conclusion**: `CuSO4` can yield copper metal. ### Final Answer: The reagents that give copper metal upon heating with `Cu2S` are: - (ii) `CuO` - (iii) `Cu2O` - (iv) `CuSO4` Thus, the correct options are **2, 3, and 4**.
