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%

When dynamic equilibrium is achieved, the rate of the forward and backward reactions go to zero. (T&F)
ratelena [41]

Answer:

1) False

2) there are equal amounts of rectants and products

Explanation:

1)  When dynamic equilibrium is achieved. the rate of forward and backward reaction they are the same, that is to say, two opposite reactions occur at the same rate, keeping the concentrations constant over time.  Different to say the rate of the ractions go to zero.

2)  A chemical equilibium exists when what is produce in quantities is equal to what reacts.

So the correct answer is the literal (d).

Based on its location on the period table what can most likely be predicted of phosphorus
Natalka [10]
Hi, I believe this question is asking what charge Phosphorus will have when it forms an ion. If that is the case, you will see that it based on the column it is in, neutral Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons. When it becomes an ion (has 8 valence electrons), it will GAIN three electrons. Meaning, we can predict that Phosphorus will have a 3- charge when it becomes an ion.

CH2 - CH2 - CH3<br> |<br> CH3 - CH2 - CH - CH2 - CH = CH2
lianna [129]
The name of that product is 1-nonene.

The sufix ene is because it is an alkene, which comes from the fact that it has a double bond.

The prefix none is because it has 9 carbon.

And the use of number 1 is because the double bond is in the carbon number 1.
