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 101.2 ml sample of 1.00 m naoh is mixed with 50.6 ml of 1.00 m h2so4 in a large styrofoam coffee cup; the cup is fitted with a

The enthalpy change of the reaction when sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid react can be calculated using the mass of solution, temperature change, and specific heat of water.

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction can be represented as,

H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) + 2NaOH (aq) ----> Na_{2}SO_{4}(aq) + 2H_{2}O(l)

Given volume of the solution = 101.2 mL + 50.6 mL = 151.8 mL

Heat of the reaction, q = m C .ΔT

m is mass of the solution = 151.8 mL * \frac{1 g}{1 mL} = 151.8 g

C is the specific heat of solution = 4.18 \frac{J}{g. ^{0}C}

ΔT is the temperature change = 31.50^{0}C - 21.45^{0}C = 10.05^{0}C

q = 151.8 g (4.18 \frac{J}{g ^{0}C})(10.05^{0}C) = 6377 J

Moles of NaOH = 101.2 mL * \frac{1L}{1000 mL}*\frac{1.00 mol}{L} = 0.1012 mol NaOH

Moles of H_{2}SO_{4} = 50.6 mL * \frac{1 L}{1000 mL} * \frac{1.0 mol}{1 L} = 0.0506 mol H_{2}SO_{4}

Enthalpy of the reaction = \frac{6377 J*\frac{1kJ}{1000J}}{0.0506 mol} = 126 kJ/mol

A. and D. would be the best pick for this sort of experiment, but maybe (unlikely) B. because you could see how they could react in certain situations, how they react to danger but I suggest A.
