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%

what are the similarities and differences between distillation, azeotropic distillation, extractive distillation and liquid-liqu
DedPeter [7]

Explanation:

- Simple Distillation: its a separation method that can be used when the two or more liquids in the mix have at least 50 degrees of difference between their boiling points.

-Azeotropic distillation: is a technique to break an azeotrope (constant boiling point mixtures), that can't be separated by simple distillation, by adding another component to generate a new azeotrope (between one initial component and the new one added) with lower boiling point.

-Extractive distillation: is a process to separate mixtures with close boiling points by adding a miscible, high boiling or none volatile solvent to increase the relative volatility of the liquids in the mix, this increases the separation factor. It differences from the azeotropic method because it doesn't form an azeotrope.

-Liquid-liquid extraction: is a method to separate compounds based on their relative solubilities in two different immiscible liquids.

After describing all the methods we can conclude that all of them are methods to separate substances based on their physical properties, this is their similarity. The difference between this method is the property it uses to separate (solubility in the case of extraction and boiling point in the case of destinations), the cases in which they bare used (when the liquids difference in boiling points is bigger [simple] or close [attractive and azeotropic]) and the formation of azeotropes (present in azeotropic and absent in extractive).

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

How many milliliters of 0.167 m hclo4 solution are needed to neutralize 50.00 ml of 0.0832 m naoh?
VashaNatasha [74]
HClO4   +NaOH   ----->  NaClO4  +  H2O
moles  of  NaOH =  (0.0832  x  50 ) /1000=  4.16 x10^-3  moles
since  the  mole  ratio  of  HClO4  to  NaOH  is  1:1   the  moles  of  HClO4  is also  4.16  x  10^-3  moles

volume  of   HClO4  is therefore =  moles/ molarity
  that  is   4.16  x  10^-3mol/  0.167 mol/L=  0.0249L
multiply  by  1000  to  convert  to  ml
0.0249  x 1000=  24.9  ml
