Copper is commonly mined as an ore with a variable percent composition of copper (II) sulfide. This ore is also sometimes referr

ed to as covellite. If a sample of the ore containing 12.5% covellite is exposed to oxygen under high temperatures, copper (II) oxide and sulfur dioxide will form. What is the yield of copper (II) oxide if 1.00 kg of the original ore is processed and the expected yield is 90%

Answer:

m_{CuO}=93.6gCuO

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the undergoing chemical reaction is:

CuS+\frac{3}{2} O_2\rightarrow CuO+SO_2

Thus, given the 1.00-kg of 12.5% ore, we can compute the theoretical yield of copper (II) oxide via stoichiometry:

m_{CuO}^{theoretical}=1.00kgCuS*\frac{1000gCuS}{1kgCuS} *\frac{12.5gCuS}{100gCuS} *\frac{1molCuS}{95.6gCuS} *\frac{1molCuO}{1molCuS} *\frac{79.5gCuO}{1molCuO} \\\\m_{CuO}^{theoretical}=103.95gCuO

Whereas the third factor accounts for the percent purity of the covellite. Then, given the percent yield, we can compute the actual yield by:

m_{CuO}=103.95gCuO*0.9\\\\m_{CuO}=93.6gCuO

Regards.

GenaCL600 [577]
To calculate the mass of milk of magnesia given, we need certain data like molar mass of the compound which needs the atomic mass of the atoms in the compound. We calculate as follows:

Molar mass of <span>Mg(OH)2 = 24.3 g/mol + (2 x (16 + 1.0)) = 58.30 g/mol

How much sodium bicarbonate to raise alkalinity in pool.
almond37 [142]

Answer:

A rule of thumb is that 1.5 lbs. of baking soda per 10,000 gallons of water will raise alkalinity by about 10 ppm. If your pool's pH is tested below 7.2, add 3-4 pounds of baking soda. If you're new to adding pool chemicals, start by adding only one-half or three-fourths of the recommended amount.

During laparoscopic surgery , carbon dioxide gas is used to expand the abdomen to help create a larger working space. If 4.80 L
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

5.37 L

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to use the PV=nRT equation.

First we <u>calculate the amount of CO₂</u>, using the initial given conditions for P, V and T:

  • P = 785 mmHg ⇒ 785/760 = 1.03 atm
  • V = 4.80 L
  • T = 18 °C ⇒ 18 + 273.16 = 291.16 K

1.03 atm * 4.80 L = n * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 291.16 K

We <u>solve for n</u>:

  • n = 0.207 mol

Then we use that value of n for another PV=nRT equation, where T=37 °C (310.16K) and P = 745 mmHg (0.98 atm).

  • 0.98 atm * V = 0.207 mol * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 310.16 K

And we <u>solve for V</u>:

  • V = 5.37 L
