Answers
GPT 3.5
Yes, copper is reduced when it is purified from copper sulfide. In the extraction process, copper sulfide is heated in the presence of oxygen to form copper oxide and sulfur dioxide. The copper oxide is then reduced to produce pure copper metal. This reduction process involves the removal of oxygen atoms from the copper oxide to leave behind the pure copper metal.
