What is the chemical equation for smelting copper sulphide?

The chemical equation for smelting copper sulphide is: Cu2S (copper sulphide) + O2 (oxygen) → 2Cu (copper) + SO2 (sulfur dioxide). This reaction is typically carried out in a furnace at high temperatures.

How is copper obtained from it's sulphide ore write the balance chemical equation?

Copper is obtained from its sulfide ore by smelting, where the copper sulfide is heated in the presence of oxygen, producing copper metal and sulfur dioxide gas. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is: 2Cu2S + 3O2 -> 2Cu + 2SO2


In the word equation copper sulphide oxygen copper sulfur dioxide name one reactant in the reaction?

copper + sulphur = copper sulphide! it's been a while since I've done chemestry, so bear with me. the reaction works out as CuS + O2 = Cu + SO2 , if i read your word equation correctly, which would make the reactants copper sulphide and oxygen.


What is the compound name for copper salt?

Copper Sulphate CuSO4Since the question did not include Oxygen, the answer is Copper Sulphide (CuxSx)If you have only Copper and Sulphur reacting the product is Copper Sulphide (CuS), not Copper Sulphate (CuSO4).Copper Sulphide is made when Copper and Sulphur are heated together - the product is a black solid.Copper Sulphate is produced when Copper is reacted either with sulphuric acid, or with a less reactive metal sulphate. Copper Sulphate is usually in the form of a blue solution but can be evaporated to produce a blue crystalline structure.
