Solution
In roasting process, the sulphide ores are strongly heated in air to transform them into oxides. In this process, sulphide ores are oxidized to form metal oxides and sulphur dioxide gas.

Metals X and Y can be recovered from the anode mud left behind after the electrolytic refining of copper metal. The coins made of metal X look new even after several years of use but the coins made of metal Y lose their shine gradually and get blackened soon. When metal X is alloyed with a small amount of metal Y, it becomes hard and hence suitable for making ornaments. What are metals X and Y? Also state the colour of metal X.
