Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A : In the Ellingham diagram, a sharp change in slope of the line is observed for $$\mathrm{Mg} \rightarrow \mathrm{MgO}$$ at $$\sim 1120^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$$
Reason R: There is a large change of entropy associated with the change of state
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

In the extraction process of copper, the product obtained after carrying out the reactions
(i) $$2 \mathrm{Cu}_{2} \mathrm{~S}+3 \mathrm{O}_{2} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Cu}_{2} \mathrm{O}+2 \mathrm{SO}_{2}$$
(ii) $$2 \mathrm{Cu}_{2} \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{Cu}_{2} \mathrm{~S} \rightarrow 6 \mathrm{Cu}+\mathrm{SO}_{2}$$ is called
