55. Although copper can be found in its elemental form in nature, it is often extracted from carbonate or oxide ores. a. Why is copper found in its elemental form but iron is not? b. One method of extracting copper from its oxide carbonate ore involves the reaction of copper(II) carbonate with dilute sulfuric acid. The resulting copper compound is then reacted with iron, which forms an iron(II) compound. Write a balanced chemical equation for each of these reactions.
