Question

Copper Matte Contains?

• A. ${\mathrm{Cu}}_2\mathrm{O},{\mathrm{Cu}}_2\mathrm{S}$
• B. ${\mathrm{Cu}}_2\mathrm{O},\mathrm{FeS}$
• C. ${\mathrm{Cu}}_2\mathrm{S},\mathrm{FeS}$
• D. ${\mathrm{Cu}}_2\mathrm{S},\mathrm{FeO}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C

${\mathrm{Cu}}_2\mathrm{S},\mathrm{FeS}$

Exaplanation for the correct option:

Option (C):${\mathrm{Cu}}_2\mathrm{S},\mathrm{FeS}$

• Matte is known as a process in which Copper is extracted before the final reduction.
• Copper matte is called as a mixture of Copper sulfide$\left(\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{u}}_2\mathrm{S}\right)$and some iron Sulfide $\left(\mathrm{FeS}\right)$.

Exaplanation for the incorrect option:

Option (A):${\mathrm{Cu}}_2\mathrm{O},{\mathrm{Cu}}_2\mathrm{S}$

• The Copper matte mixture does not contain ${\mathrm{Cu}}_2\mathrm{O},{\mathrm{Cu}}_2\mathrm{S}$.
• Hence, the given Option is an incorrect one.

Option (B):${\mathrm{Cu}}_2\mathrm{O},\mathrm{FeS}$

• ${\mathrm{Cu}}_2\mathrm{O},\mathrm{FeS}$ is termed as the Copper matte mixture.
• Thus the given Option does not coincide with the given concept.

Option (D):${\mathrm{Cu}}_2\mathrm{S},\mathrm{FeO}$

• ${\mathrm{Cu}}_2\mathrm{S},\mathrm{FeO}$ is not call as the Copper matte mixture.
• Hence, the given concept does not represent the correct concept.

Hence, Copper Matte Contains:${\mathrm{Cu}}_2\mathrm{S},\mathrm{FeS}$
