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.

What are the ion concentrations in a 0.12 M solution of AlCl3? A) 0.12 M Al3+ ions and 0.040 M Cl- ions B) none of the answers C
KIM [24]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

To answer this question, we will need to write the dissociation equation of aluminum trichloride.

AlCl3 ——-> Al3+ + 3Cl-

It can be seen that when aluminum chloride dissociates, it gives one mole of aluminum ion and three moles of the chloride ion.

From here we can see that the concentration of the aluminum chloride equals that of the aluminum ion while that of the chloride ion is thrice that of the aluminum chloride. This means we simply multiply 0.12M by 3 to get the molarity of the chloride ion while that of the aluminum ion remains the same

Enter a chemical equation for HI(aq) showing how it is an acid or a base according to the Arrhenius definition. Consider that st
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

HI (aq) → H⁺ (aq) +  I⁻ (aq)

HI (aq) +  H₂O(l)  → H₃O⁺ (aq) +  I⁻ (aq)

Explanation:

The Arrhenius acid concept indicates that a substance behaves like acid if it produces hydrogen ions H⁺ or hydronium ions H₃O⁺ in water. A substance will be classified as a base if it produces OH⁻  hydroxide ions in water. This way of defining acids and bases works well for aqueous solutions.

When we mix HI (aq) and water, we are increasing [H₃O⁺]

HI (aq) → H⁺ (aq) +  I⁻ (aq)

HI (aq) +  H₂O(l)  → H₃O⁺ (aq) +  I⁻ (aq)
