Ans.

(i) (a)Roasting of sulphide ore

 2Cu_{2}S\left ( s \right )+3O_{2}\left ( g \right )\rightarrow Cu_{2}O\left ( s \right )+2SO_{2}\left ( g \right )
(b) 2Cu_{2}O\left ( s \right )+Cu_{2}S\left ( s \right )\rightarrow 6Cu\left ( s \right )+SO_{2}\left ( g \right )   
(c) Electrolytic refining: Electrolytic refining is a process of refining a metal by the process of electrolysis.
A thick block of the impure metal is made anode (+ ve)
A thin strip of pure metal is made cathode (- ve)
CuSO4 solution is taken as electrolyte.
At cathode:                          Cu^{2+}\left ( aq \right )+2e^{-}\rightarrow Cu
At anode                             Cu\left ( s \right )\rightarrow Cu^{2+}\left ( aq \right )+2e^{-}
