In which layer of the Earth is cobalt found?

All our resources come from the crust. Cobalt is usually extracted as a by-product of copper and nickel mining.


What is meant by - smelting?

Smelting is the process which ore goes through so that a metal can be extracted from it. It involves heating the rock to very high temperatures. Copper, for instance, can be extracted at temperatures of about 1200 °C.Actually, smelting is a process when a metal which is more reactive than copper needs to be extracted. For example, zinc is more reactive than copper so it has to be extracted smelting. It can be extracted by heating its ore with charcoal aka smelting.--different person


What is the product of the reaction between copper and oxygen is?

2Cu + O2 ==> 2CuO product is copper(II) oxide4Cu + O2 ==> 2Cu2O product is copper(I) oxide


What are the three stages in which copper is extracted from copper sulphate?

The first step is extracting copper from its ore, including the sulphate, to remove waste constituents like limestone and silica so that the copper and other minerals of value are concentrated into a product containing between 20 and 30 percent copper. The second step is to smelt (blast furnace with coal) or leach (reacting with an acid then using electrolysis) the product which also removes a large amount of impurity elements like iron and for sulphide ores, sulfur. The final step, refining, removes the last traces of the impurity elements and produces a copper product of 99.99 percent purity.


What are three examples of useful elements that are extracted from earths surface?
