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.

You’ve been waiting for the bus and your hands become cold. When you get onto the bus and sit down, you put your hands under you
snow_tiger [21]

Explanation:

The <u>First Law of Thermodynamics</u> states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system. In other words, energy can be converted from one form into another, but it cannot be created nor destroyed.

<u>Conduction</u> is the transfer of energy from one molecule to another by direct contact. This transfer occurs when molecules hit against each other, which can take place in solids, liquids, and gases.

When you put your cold hands under your legs to warm your hands up, the heat energy from your legs is being transferred to your hands through conduction. However, since energy cannot be created, there is no extra heat energy that can instantaneously replace the heat created by your legs.

Isotopes that decay with a nuclear break-up and emit a significant amount of energy are said to be ________.
podryga [215]

Answer to this is Radioactive isotopes.

Isotopes are the species of the same element having different atomic masses that means the number of protons remains the same but number of neutrons do differ. For example _{1}^{2}\textrm{H} and _{1}^{3}\textrm{H} are the two isotopes of Hydrogen (_{1}^{1}\textrm{H} ).

Radioactive isotopes are the isotopes which release some kind of energy in the form of alpha particles, beta particles or gamma radiation. Examples of each of the decay processes are :

Alpha Decay: In this decay one alpha particle having atomic mass 4 and atomic number 2 or we can say a He molecule will come out. _{Z}^{A}\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}\textrm{Y}+_{2}^{4}\alpha

Beta Decay: In this decay a \beta particle is emitted increasing the atomic number of the reactant by 1 unit.

_{Z}^{A}\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^{A}\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^{0}\beta

Gamma Radiation: In this type of reaction only radiation is emitted out which does not change the original molecule.

_{Z}^{A}\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z}^{A}\textrm{X}+\gamma\text{ radiation}
