In the extraction of copper, the metal formed in the Bessemer’s converter is due to the reaction:

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

2\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{u}_2}\mathrm{O} + \mathrm{C}{\mathrm{u}_2}\mathrm{S} \to 6\mathrm{Cu} + \mathrm{S}{\mathrm{O}_2}

Option D (

2\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{u}_2}\mathrm{O} + \mathrm{C}{\mathrm{u}_2}\mathrm{S} \to 6\mathrm{Cu} + \mathrm{S}{\mathrm{O}_2}

) is correct because this reaction represents the self-reduction of cuprous oxide by cuprous sulfide in the Bessemer converter to produce copper.
