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.

What product(s) forms at the cathode in the electrolysis of an aqueous solution of k2so4?
fenix001 [56]
Catod(-)
K⁺
2H20 +2e⁻ ---> H2 +2OH⁻

We can also say, that
K⁺ +OH⁻ +H2  = KOH +H2   
At the cathode KOH and H2 are formed.

Describe the difference between accuracy and precision. How do these two concepts relate to the idea of significant digits?
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Accuracy of a measured value refers to how close a measurement is to the correct value. The uncertainty in a measurement is an estimate of the amount by which the measurement result may differ from this value. Precision of measured values refers to how close the agreement is between repeated measurements.

Answer:

Temperature, the average kinetic energy of particles, tells you how warm something is. Thermal energy, the total kinetic energy of the particles, tells you the extent to which a substance or object can transfer heat or make something else warmer. If an object's temperature increases, its thermal energy increases also.

Difference Between Temperature and Thermal Energy

a. Definition

Temperature: The average kinetic energy of the structural elements of a system (atoms, molecules, charged particles) is called temperature.

Thermal energy: The total kinetic energy of the structural elements of a system is called thermal energy.

b. Values

Temperature: The temperature can be positive and negative.

Thermal energy: The thermal energy always has positive values.

c. Units of measurement

Temperature: The temperature is measured in Celsius, Kelvin, and Fahrenheit.

Thermal energy: The thermal energy is measured in Joule and Calorie.

d. Quantitative dependence

Temperature: The temperature does not depend on the quantity of the substance – it is related to the average kinetic energy of the particles.

Thermal energy: The thermal energy depends on the quantity of the substance – it is related to the total kinetic energy of the particles.

2. The temperature on the Kelvin scale is bigger because the number 273 is always added to the Celcius temperature

3. There’s no really direct connection, however:

The thermal energy of the object is the kinetic energy of the individual molecules that make it up. The more fast-moving molecules inside it, the hotter it is.

When a moving object collides with something, some of the kinetic energy of the object turns into thermal energy. Warming something by rubbing it is an example of this.

4. For a thermometer that is liquid confined in a tube, as the temperature increases, the molecules of the liquid move faster, and the liquid expands. The amount of expansion is related to the increase in temperature.

hope it helps you , thank you
