Why is sulphide ore of copper heated in a furnace after mixing with silica?

Write down the reactions taking place in Blast furnace related to the metallurgy of iron in the temperature range 500-800 K.

Explain the following:

\[\ce{CO2}\] is a better reducing agent below 710 K whereas \[\ce{CO}\] is a better reducing agent above 710 K.

Explain the following:

Generally sulphide ores are converted into oxides before reduction.

Explain the following:
