Hello Student,
Please find the answer to your question
Calcinations of the ore A1 to form CO2 indicates that A1 should be a carbonate. Further, reaction of A1 with HCI and KI to evolve I2 indicates that A1 would also be hydroxide. So the possible formula for the ore, should be CuCO3.Cu(OH)2 which explains all the given reactions
CuCO3.Cu(OH)2 2CuO ↓ +CO2 + H2O
(A1) (C) black
CuCO3.Cu(OH)2 + 4HCI → 2CuCI2 + CO2 + 3H2O
(A1)
2CuCI2 + 4KI → Cu2 ↓ + 4KCI + I2
(D)
Roasting of A2 gives gas G whose nature is identified as SO2 as it gives green colour with acidified K2Cr2O7. So A2 should be sulphide of copper.
2Cu2S + 3O2 2Cu2O + 2SO2
(A2) (G)
Cu2S + 2Cu2O 6Cu+SO2
(M)
3SO2 + K2Cr2O7 + H2SO4 → K2SO4 + Cr2(SO4)3 + 4H2O
(G) (Green colour)
