Copper was the first metal to be produced from its ore because it is the easiest to smelt, that is, to refine by heating in the

presence of carbon (hence the early occurrence of the Bronze Age). The ore was likely malachite (Cu2(OH)2CO3). What is the mass percent of copper in malachite?

Answer:

57.48%

Explanation:

Calculate the mass of 1 mole of malachite:

MM Cu = 63.55

MM O = 16.00

MM H = 1.01

MM C = 12.01

(Cu_{2}(OH)_{2}CO_{3})

A mole of malachite has:

2 moles of Cu

5 moles of O

2 moles of H

1 mole of C

MW Malachite = 2*MM(CU) + 5*MM(O) + 2*MM(H) + 1 *MM(C)

MW Malachite = 2*63.55 + 5*16.00 + 2*1.01 + 1*12.01

MW Malachite = 221.13

Mass of Cu in a mole of Malachite = 2*MM(CU) = 127.1

Now divide the mass of Cu by the mass of Malachite

%Cu = \frac{127.1}{221.13} =0.5748=57.48%

______________ is a durable material and is widely used for casting, which is a process by which the melted material is poured i
podryga [215]

The material that has been widely used in casting has been copper. Thus, option C is correct.

Casting has been the process of molding the liquid into a specific shape with the mold. The casting involves the heating of elements and converting them into liquid. The liquid has been poured into the mold and cooling results in the casted material.

The casted material has been selected based on the boiling temperature, cooling temperature, resistivity, cost-effectiveness, and damping ability.

The material that has been consisted of these characteristics has been copper. Thus, copper has been commonly used for casting. Thus, option C is correct.

Show your calculation by uploading a picture. Calculate the molar mass of ammonia, NH3
Cloud [144]

Answer:

17.04 g/mol

Explanation:

Molar Mass of NH₃

we know that

Nitrogen has 14.01 gram/mol

And Hydrogen has 1.01 gram/mol

but we have 3 Hydrogens So we multiply

1.01 by 3 i.e., 3.03

Now, add

14.01

+<u> </u><u>3</u><u>.</u><u>0</u><u>3</u>

17.04

So, The molar mass of ammonia, NH₃ is

17.04 g/mol
