(i)S8+8O2Δ8SO2
(ii) P4+5O2ΔP4O10
(iii) 4As+3O2Δ2As2O3

Solution

Following four reactions are involved in roasting process.
(i)S8+8O2Δ8SO2
(ii) P4+5O2ΔP4O10
(iii) 4As+3O2Δ2As2O3
(iv)2ZnS+3O2Δ2ZnO+2SO2
Note: During roasting the ore is heated in excess of air to convert metals into their oxides and water insoluble sulphides into water soluble sulphates.
