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.

When a mixture containing cations of Analytical Groups I–III is treated with H2S in acidic solution, which cations are expected
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Analytical Groups I and II

Explanation:

Precipitation reactions happen when anions and cations in aqueous solution mix together to form an insoluble ionic solid which is now referred to as a precipitate.

Whether or not a type of reaction like that takes place can be determined by utilizing the solubility principles for common ionic solids.

7. NH2CO2NH4(s) when heated to 450 K undergoes the following reaction to produce a system which reaches equilibrium: NH2CO2NH4(s
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Value of equilibrium constant is 0.0888

Explanation:

Both NH_{3} and CO_{2} are gaseous. Hence equilibrium constant depends upon partial pressures of NH_{3} and CO_{2}.

Initially no NH_{3} and CO_{2} were present.

Hence mole fraction of NH_{3} and CO_{2} at equilibrium can be calculated from coefficient of NH_{3} and CO_{2} in balanced equation.

Mole fraction of NH_{3} = (number of moles of NH_{3})/(total number of moles of NH_{3} and CO_{2}) = \frac{2moles}{(2+1)moles}=\frac{2}{3}

Mole fraction of CO_{2} = (number of moles of CO_{2})/(total number of moles of NH_{3} and CO_{2}) = \frac{1moles}{(2+1)moles}=\frac{1}{3}

Let's assume both CO_{2} and NH_{3} behaves ideally.

Therefore partial pressure of NH_{3}, P_{NH_{3}}= x_{NH_{3}}.P_{total} and P_{CO_{2}}= x_{CO_{2}}.P_{total}

Where x represents mole fraction

So, P_{NH_{3}}=\frac{2}{3}\times 0.843atm=0.562atm

P_{CO_{2}}=\frac{1}{3}\times 0.843atm=0.281atm

So, K_{p}=P_{NH_{3}}^{2}.P_{CO_{2}}=(0.562)^{2}\times 0.281=0.0888

A pharmacist wishes to strengthen a mixture from 10%alcohol to 30% alcohol. How much pure alcohol should be added to 7 liters of
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

2 litres of pure alcohol will be added to make the overall concentration of 9 litres of mixture as 30%.

Explanation:

Suppose x is the number of litres added to the 10% mixture than the quantity of new mixture is given as below

  • n_{old}=7 litres
  • n_{new}=7+x litres

Also the quantity of alcohol is given as

  • q_{old}=10 \% \, of \, 7 \, litres =0.7
  • q_{added}=x
  • q_{new}= 30 \% \,of \,new\, quantity = 0.3(7+x)

Now the equation is as

                                  q_{old}+q_{added}=q_{new}\\0.7+x=0.3(7+x)\\0.7+x=2.1+0.3x\\x-0.3x=2.1-0.7\\0.7x=1.4\\x=2 \, litres

So 2 litres of pure alcohol will be added to make the overall concentration of 9 litres of mixture as 30%.
