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 CuFeS_2 = 183.511 g/mole

  • First we have to calculate the moles of Cu.

\text{ Moles of Cu}=\frac{\text{ Given mass of Cu}}{\text{ Molar mass of Cu}}= \frac{300g}{63.546g/mole}=4.7209moles

The moles of Cu = 4.7209 moles

From the given chemical formula, CuFeS_2 we conclude that the each mole of compound contain one mole of Cu.

So, The moles of Cu = Moles of CuFeS_2 = 4.4209 moles

  • Now we have to calculate the mass of CuFeS_2.

Mass of CuFeS_2 = Moles of CuFeS_2 × Molar mass of CuFeS_2 = 4.4209 moles × 183.511 g/mole = 866.337 g

Mass of CuFeS_2 = 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.

Can you force the atoms into new configurations by pushing atoms around
marta [7]
<span>No, this is not possible. The reason for this impossibility is that the electrons are not attracted to one another, and thus, would repel. If you were to push the atoms into each other, the electrons would then prevent this from happening. Essentially atoms will bounce off of one another due to the repel of charges.</span>
