Solution
The correct options are B4FeS2(s) + 11O2(g)→2Fe2O3(s) + 8SO2(g) D2CuS(s)+ 2O2(g)→2Cu(s) + 2SO2(g) Roasting is a process in which an ore is heated in the presence of oxygen to convert it into metal oxide. Roasting is generally used for sulphide ores. For example: 4FeS2(s) + 11O2(g)→2Fe2O3(s) + 8SO2(g) 2CuS(s)+ 2O2(g)→2Cu(s) + 2SO2(g)
