  1. Given below are the steps for extraction of copper from its ore. Write the reaction involved.
    1. Roasting of copper (1) sulphide.
    2. Reduction of copper (1) oxide with copper (1) sulphide.
    3. Electrolytic refining.
  2. Draw a neat and well labelled diagram for electrolytic refining of copper.

Answer

  1. Given below are the steps.
  1. Roasting:
$2\text{Cu}_2\text{S(s) + 3O}_2\text{(g)}\xrightarrow{\text{heat}}2\text{Cu}_2\text{O(s) + 2SO}_2\text{(g)}$
  1. Reduction:
$2\text{Cu}_2\text{O(s) + Cu}_2\text{S(s)}\xrightarrow{\text{heat}}6\text{Cu}\text{(s) + SO}_2\text{(g)}$
This reaction in which one of the reactants $\left( Cu _2 S\right)$ carries the reduction of the product $\left( Cu _2 O \right)$ is known as auto-reduction.
3. Reactions taking place in electrorefensing are:

At cathode (reduction): $Cu ^{2+}( aq )+2 e ^{-} \rightarrow Cu ( s )$

At anode (oxidation): $Cu ( s ) \rightarrow Cu ^{2+}( aq )+2 e ^{-}$

When a person puts food in his mouth, then teeth cut it into small pieces, chew and grind it. The glands A in the mouth secrete a substance B which is mixed with the food by tongue. The substance B contains an enzyme C which starts the digestion of food in the mouth. The slightly digested food from the mouth goes down a tube D. The special type of movements E in the walls of tube D push the food into stomach for further digestion. The stomach wall secretes gastric juice containing three substance F, G and H. One of the functions of F is to kill bacteria which may enter the stomach with food. The substance G protects the inside layer of stomach from the damaging effect of substance F whereas substance H is and enzyme for digestion. The partially digested food then enters into small intestine for further digestion.
