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.

a sample of a compound contains 60gC and 5.05gH.it molar mass is 78.12g/mol what is the compound molecular formula
elena55 [62]
(60)/(60+5.05)=.922367 C
1-0.922367=0.07763259 H
(0.922367)(78.12)=72.05534204 C
(0.07763259)(78.12)=6.06 H
72.05534204/(12.01)=6 C
6.06/1.01=6 H

The red line of the hydrogen emission spectrum has a wavelength of 656.1 nm. Calculate the energy of one photon
Effectus [21]

The formula we can use here is the Plancks equation:

E = h c / ʎ

where h is Plancks constant = 6.626 × 10-34 m2 kg / s, c is speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s and ʎ is wavelength = 656.1 x 10^-9 m

 

Therefore E is:

E = (6.626 × 10-34 m2 kg / s) * (3 x 10^8 m/s) / 656.1 x 10^-9 m

<span>E = 3.03 x 10^-19 J</span>

When the concentration of reactant molecules is increased
a_sh-v [17]

Complete question is;

When the concentrations of reactant molecules are increased, the rate of reaction increases. The best explanation for this phenomenon is that as the reactant concentration increases,

A)the average kinetic energy of molecules increases.

B)the frequency of molecular collisions increases.

C)the rate constant increases.

D)the activation energy increases.

E)the order of reaction increases.

Answer:

B) The frequency of molecular collisions increases.

Explanation:

When we increase number of reactant molecules, the effective collision between the reactant molecules will form a product which also increases. As a result, the overall rate of the reaction will also increase which means the frequency of the molecular collision will also increase as well.

Thus, the correct answer is Option B
