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%

In redox reactions, _____________ occurs when electrons are lost by a molecule. ______________ occurs when electrons are gained
madam [21]

Answer:

Oxidation, Reduction

Explanation:

A redox reaction is a short form for reduction-oxidation.

Reduction is a term which means that electron is gained while oxidation is a term which means that electron Is lost.

The species that gain electron is known as the oxidizing agent while the species losing electrons is known as the reducing agent

An ideal reversible heat pump is taking heat from the outside air at -14.0°c and discharging it into the house at 20.0°c. what i
just olya [345]

the coefficient of performance of this heat pump is 8.61.

<h3>What is Heat pump ?</h3>

The air source heat pump converts heat from the ambient air into a low-temperature liquid refrigerant. The pump compresses the liquid to raise its temperature using power. To release the heat it had been holding, it then condenses back into a liquid. Your underfloor heating system or radiators get heat.

coefficient of performance -The usable heating or cooling delivered to work (energy) needed ratio, also known as the coefficient of performance, or COP, of a heat pump, refrigerator, or air conditioning system. Higher efficiency, less energy (power) usage, and thus reduced operational costs are all related to higher COPs.

temperature of cold reservoir = -14.0°C

Tc = [ 273+ (-14.0)]K = 259K

temperature of hot reservoir = 20°C

Th = [ 273+ (20)]K = 293K

therefor, formula for coefficient of performance

Cop = Th/Th-Tc

Cop = 293/34

Cop = 8.61
