Question

Describe the extraction and purification of the metal from that ore

Answer 1

Copper can be extracted from its ore by heating it with carbon. Impure copper is purified by electrolysis in which the anode is impure copper, the cathode is pure copper, and the electrolyte is copper sulphate solution. An alloy is a mixture of two elements, one of which is a metal.

Answer 2

Answer:

Extractive metallurgy is the practice of removing valuable metals from an ore and refining the extracted raw metals into a purer form. Hydrometallurgy uses aqueous solutions to extract metals from ores (leaching). Pyrometallurgy involves high temperature processes where chemical reactions take place.
