Explain and write chemical equation for obtaining copper from its sulphide ore in nature.

Answer» Copper is a less reactive metal which is quite low in the reactivity series. It can be extracted just by heating its sulphide ore in air. 2Cu2S+3O2------------------>2CuO+2SO2................... 2Cu2O +Cu2S ----------------> 6Cu+SO2.
Copper is a metal that is placed for below in the reactivity series it can be extracted from its sulphide Ore with heating strongly also roasting a Method can also be used and electrolytic refining can also be used but heating is the most primitive and easy method equation areCU2S---->CUO+SO2
