Question

what is the oxidation state of copper and iron in copper mate

Answer 1

Cu2O+FeS is called copper matte

Oxidation state of Cu is +1
Oxidation state of Fe is +2

Answer 2

Answer:

Copper mate is a chemical compound which is made up of copper sulphide (Cu2S) and iron sulphide (FeS).

Explanation:

The copper matte is composed of Cu2S and FeS. So, the oxidation state of copper in copper will be +1 and the oxidation state of iron is +2 because of the sulphur -2 oxidation. So, to balance the charge on compound, copper would acquire +1 oxidation state and iron acquire +2 oxidation state.
