solv

ee Vv There are two steps in the extraction of copper metal from chalcocite, a copper ore. In the first step, copper(I) sulfide and oxygen react to form copper(I) oxide and sulfur dioxide: 2 Cu, S(s)+3 0,(g) 2 Cu, O(s)+2 SO,(9) In the second step, copper(I) oxide and carbon react to form copper and carbon monoxide: Cu, O(s)+ C(s) 2 Cu(s)+CO(g) Write the net chemical equation for the production of copper from copper(I) sulfide, oxygen and carbon. Be sure your equation is balanced
