Answer : 0.8663 Kg of chalcopyrite must be mined to obtained 300 g of pure Cu.
Solution : Given,
Mass of Cu = 300 g
Molar mass of Cu = 63.546 g/mole
Molar mass of
= 183.511 g/mole
- First we have to calculate the moles of Cu.

The moles of Cu = 4.7209 moles
From the given chemical formula,
we conclude that the each mole of compound contain one mole of Cu.
So, The moles of Cu = Moles of
= 4.4209 moles
- Now we have to calculate the mass of
.
Mass of
= Moles of
× Molar mass of
= 4.4209 moles × 183.511 g/mole = 866.337 g
Mass of
= 866.337 g = 0.8663 Kg (1 Kg = 1000 g)
Therefore, 0.8663 Kg of chalcopyrite must be mined to obtained 300 g of pure Cu.
The answer is protons. Neutrons have no charge and electrons have a negative charge so the positive charge must be protons.
Answer:
26.74g
Explanation:
The equation of the reaction is;
SIO₂ + 3C --> SiC +2CO
From the balanced equation, the relationship between SiC and C is;
3 mol of C produces 1 mol of SiC
Converting mol to mass using; Mass = moles * Molar mass
Mass of SiC = 1 mol * 40.11 g/mol = 40.11g
This means;
3 mol of C produces 40.11g of SiC
2 mol of C produces xg of SiC
3 = 40.11
2 = x
x = 2 * 40.11 / 3 = 26.74g
