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.

Mashutka [201]
Specific heat is another physical property of matter. All matter has a temperature associated with it. The temperature of matter is a direct measure of the motion of the molecules: The greater the motion the higher the temperature:



Motion requires energy: The more energy matter has the higher temperature it will also have. Typicall this energy is supplied by heat. Heat loss or gain by matter is equivalent energy loss or gain.

With the observation above understood we con now ask the following question: by how much will the temperature of an object increase or decrease by the gain or loss of heat energy? The answer is given by the specific heat (S) of the object. The specific heat of an object is defined in the following way: Take an object of mass m, put in x amount of heat and carefully note the temperature rise, then S is given by



In this definition mass is usually in either grams or kilograms and temperatture is either in kelvin or degres Celcius. Note that the specific heat is "per unit mass". Thus, the specific heat of a gallon of milk is equal to the specific heat of a quart of milk. A related quantity is called the heat capacity (C). of an object. The relation between S and C is C = (mass of obect) x (specific heat of object). A table of some common specific heats and heat capacities is given below:

Some common specific heats and heat capacities: Substance S (J/g 0C) C (J/0C) for 100 g Air 1.01 101 Aluminum 0.902 90.2 Copper 0.385 38.5 Gold 0.129 12.9 Iron 0.450 45.0 Mercury 0.140 14.0 NaCl 0.864 86.4 Ice 2..03 203 Water 4.179 417.9   

Consider the specific heat of copper , 0.385 J/g 0C. What this means is that it takes 0.385 Joules of heat to raise 1 gram of copper 1 degree celcius. Thus, if we take 1 gram of copper at 25 0C and add 1 Joule of heat to it, we will find that the temperature of the copper will have risen to 26 0C. We can then ask: How much heat wil it take to raise by 1 0C 2g of copper?. Clearly the answer is 0.385 J for each gram or 2x0.385 J = 0.770 J. What about a pound of copper? A simple way of dealing with different masses of matter is to dtermine the heat capacity C as defined above. Note that C depends upon the size of the object as opposed to S that does not.

We are not in position to do some calculations with S and C.

Example 1: How much energy does it take to raise the temperature of 50 g of copper by 10 0C?



Example 2: If we add 30 J of heat to 10 g of aluminum, by how much will its temperature increase?

 



Thus, if the initial temperture of the aluminum was 20 0C then after the heat is added the temperature will be 28.3 0C.

A solution contains 42.0 g of heptane (C7H16) and 50.5 g of octane (C8H18) at 25 ∘C. The vapor pressures of pure heptane and pur
Kruka [31]

Answer:

(a) 22.3 torr; 5.6 torr; (b) 27.9 torr; (c) 77.7 % heptane; 23.3 % octane

(d) Heptane is more volatile than octane

Explanation:

We can use Raoult's Law to solve this problem.

It states that the partial pressure of each component of an ideal mixture of liquids is equal to the vapour pressure of the pure component multiplied by its mole fraction. In symbols,

p_{i} = \chi_{i} p_{i}^{\circ}

(a) Vapour pressure of each component

Let heptane be Component 1 and octane be Component 2.

(i) Moles of each component

n_{1} = \text{42.0 g} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol}}{\text{100.20 g}} = \text{0.4192 mol}\\n_{2} = \text{50.5 g} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol}}{\text{114.23 g}} = \text{0.4421 mol}

(ii) Total moles

n_{\text{tot}} = 0.4192 + 0.4421 = \text{0.8613 mol}

(iiii) Mole fractions of each component

p_{1} = 0.4867 \times 45.8 = \textbf{22.3 torr}\\p_{2} = 0.5133 \times 10.9 = \ \textbf{5.6 torr}

(iv) Partial vapour pressures of each component

p_{1} = 0.4867 \times 45.8 = \textbf{22.3 torr}\\p_{2} = 0.5133 \times 10.9 = \textbf{5.6 torr}

(b) Total pressure  

p_{\text{tot}} = p_{1} + p_{2} = 22.3 + 5.6 = \text{27.9 torr}

(c) Mass percent of each component in vapour

\chi_{1} = \dfrac{p_{1}}{p_{\text{Tot}}} = \dfrac{22.3}{27.9} =0.799\\\chi_{2} = \dfrac{p_{2}}{p_{\text{Tot}} }= \dfrac{5.6}{27. 9} =0.201

The ratio of the mole fractions is the same as the ratio of the moles.

\dfrac{n_{1}}{n_{2}} = \dfrac{0.799}{0.201}

If we have 1 mol of vapour, we have 0.799 mol of heptane and 0.201 mol of octane

m_{1} = 0.799 \times 100.20 = \text{80.1 g}\\m_{2} = 0.201\times 114.23 = \text{23.0 g}\\m_{\text{tot}} = 80.1 + 23.0 = \text{103.1 g}\\\\\text{ mass percent heptane} = \dfrac{80.1}{103.1} \times 100 \, \% = \mathbf{77.7\, \%}\\\\\text{ mass percent octane} = \dfrac{23.0}{103.1} \times 100 \, \% = \mathbf{22.3\, \%}}

(d) Enrichment of vapour

The vapour is enriched in heptane because heptane is more volatile than octane.

If the concentration of a KCl solution is 16.0% (m/v), then the mass of KCl in 26.0 mL of solution is ________.
melomori [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is 4.16 grams.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the concentration of KCl solution is 16 % m/v, which means that 100 ml of the solution will contain 16 grams of KCl.

The molarity of the solution can be determined by using the formula,

M = weight/molecular mass × 1000/Volume

The molecular mass of KCl is 74.6 grams per mole.

M = 16/74.6 × 1000/100

M = 16/74.6

M = 2.14 M

Now the weight of KCl present in the solution of 26 ml will be,

2.14 = Wt./74.6 × 1000 /26

Wt. = 4.16 grams
