Answer:

(a) Roasting of sulphide ore:

2Cu2S(s) + 3O2(s) → 2Cu2O(s) + 2SO2(g)  

(b) Reduction of copper (I) oxide with copper (I) sulphide:

2Cu2O + Cu2S → 6Cu(s) + SO2(g)  

This reaction is known as auto - reduction.

(c) Reaction for electrolytic refining:

At anode : Cu2+(aq) + 2e- → Cu(s)  

At cathode : Cu(s) → Cu2+(aq)+ 2e-
