There are two steps in the extraction of copper metal from chalcocite, a copper ore. In the first step, copper(1) sulfide and oxygen react to form copper(I) oxide and sulfur dioxide: 2Cu,S(s)+30,(9) --2Cu,0(3)+2SO,(9) In the second step, copper(I) oxide and carbon react to form copper and carbon monoxide: Cu, O(s)+C(s)-2Cu(s)+CO(9) Write the net chemical equation for the production of copper from copper(1) sulfide, oxygen and carbon. Be sure your equation is balanced.

There are two steps in the extraction of copper metal from chalcocite, a copper ore. In the first step, copper(1) sulfide and oxygen react to form copper(I) oxide
and sulfur dioxide:
2Cu,S(s)+30,(9) --2Cu,0(3)+2SO,(9)
In the second step, copper(I) oxide and carbon react to form copper and carbon monoxide:
Cu,O(s)+C(s)-+2Cu(s)-co(0)
Write the net chemical equation for the production of copper from copper(1) sulfide, oxygen and carbon. Be sure your equation is balanced.
