- $Fe_2O_3$
- $Cu_2O$
- $SO_2$
- $CO$

The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
In the extraction of copper from its sulphide ore, copper is obtained finally by oxidation of cuprous sulphide with $Cu _{2} O$.
$Cu _{2} S +\frac{3}{2} O _{2} \rightarrow Cu _{2} O + SO _{2} \uparrow$
$Cu _{2} S +2 Cu _{2} O \rightarrow 6 Cu ( I )+ SO _{2} \uparrow$
$Cu _{2} S +\frac{3}{2} O _{2} \rightarrow Cu _{2} O + SO _{2} \uparrow$
$Cu _{2} S +2 Cu _{2} O \rightarrow 6 Cu ( I )+ SO _{2} \uparrow$

- Consider a completely full cylindrical water tank of height 1.6 m and cross-sectional area 0.5 $ m^2 $. It has a small hole in its side at a height 90 cm from the bottom. Assume, the cross-sectional area of the hole to be negligibly small as compared to that of the water tank. If a load 50 kg is applied at the top surface of the water in the tank then the velocity of the water coming out at the instant when the hole is opened is : (g = 10 $ m/s^2 $)

What are Ores and Minerals?
Minerals are the naturally occurring, homogeneous inorganic solid substances. They are having a definite chemical composition and crystalline structure, hardness and color. For example, copper pyrite, calamine, etc.
Impurities in an ore are called gauge. The removal of a gauge from the ore is called concentration ore.
Several steps are involved in the extraction of pure metal from ores. Major steps are as follows –
- Concentration of the ore
- Isolation of the metal from its concentrated ore
- Purification of the metal
