Assuming a ton is 2,000 lbs use the following equation to figure out how many grams of gold by mass there is:
***NOTE*** if this is a metric ton then the conversion will be 1 metric ton = 1000 kg

1.25 tons x 2000 lb/ton = 2,500 lbs
2,500 lbs x .4535 kg/lbs = 1133.75kg x 1000 g/kg = 1,133,750 g
IF METRIC TON then 1.25 x 1000 = 1250 x 1000g/kg = 1,250,000 g

because it says 0.25% and a pecent is out of a 100, you must divide that percentage by 100 
use fraction of: 0.25%/100 = 0.0025

(easy way to think about this is if it were 50% gold by mass, then you would multiple the total tonnage by .5 (50/100 = .5), so 0.25% = 0.0025)

1,113,750g x .0025 = 2834 g of gold

if metric ton 1,250,000 x 0.0025 = 3125 g of ogld

How are exothermic and endothermic reactions linked in the process of refining metal ore?
Alex777 [14]
The intended sense is that of a reaction that depends on absorbing heat if it is to proceed. The opposite of an endothermic process is an exothermic process, one that releases "gives out" energy in the form of heat
