Silica is added to the sulphide ore of copper in reverberatory furnace because
A
sulphide ore of copper contains iron as impurity which is removed as iron slag
B
silica reacts with $$C{u_2}O$$ to form slag
C
silica helps in reduction of $$C{u_2}O$$ to $$Cu$$
D
sulphide ore of copper is separated from iron by reacting with silica.
Answer :
sulphide ore of copper contains iron as impurity which is removed as iron slag

$$PbO\,\& \,PbS{O_4}$$ get reduced by $$PbS$$ itself which is already present in mixture so because the reduction took place by itself, hence is known as self reduction.
\[\begin{align}
& 2PbO+PbS\xrightarrow{\Delta }3Pb+S{{O}_{2}}\uparrow \\
& PbS{{O}_{4}}+PbS\xrightarrow{\Delta }2Pb+2S{{O}_{2}}\uparrow \\
