The mineral enargite is 48.41% cu, 19.02% as, and 32.57% s by mass. what is the empirical formula of enargite?

Answer is: <span>the empirical formula of enargite is Cu</span>₃AsS₄.<span>
If we use 100 grams of enargite:
n(Cu) = 48,41 g </span>÷ 63.55 g/mol.
n(Cu) = 0.761 mol.
n(As) = 19.02 g ÷ 74.92 g/mol.
n(As) = 0.254 mol.
n(S) = 32.57 g ÷ 32.065 g/mol.
n(S) = 1.016 mol.
n(Cu) : n(As) : n(S) = 0.761 mol : 0.254 mol : 1.016 mol / 0.254.
n(Cu) : n(As) : n(S) = 3 mol : 1 mol : 4 mol.

Water (10 kg/s) at 1 bar pressure and 50 C is pumped isothermally to 10 bar. What is the pump work? (Use the steam tables.) -7.3

Andreyy89

Answer:

The pump work is 3451 kJ/s

Explanation:

Pump work (W) is calculated as

$W = (h_f - h_i) \times \dot{m}$

where

$h_f$ is the enthalpy of water at its final state

$h_i$ is the enthalpy of water at its initial state

$\dot{m} = 10 kg/s$ is water mass flow

For liquids, properties are evaluated as saturated liquid. From the figure attached, it can be seen that

$h_f = 762.81 kJ/kg$

$h_i = 417.46 kJ/kg$

Replacing

$W = (762.81 kJ/kg - 417.46 kJ/kg) \times 10 kg/s$

$W = 3451 kJ/s$

An insoluble solid that forms from a chemical reaction is called a(n)

Kisachek [45]

This description applies and is suitable for what a chemical precipitate is. A precipitate is a product that is formed from a certain chemicals reaction that yields a solid that is insoluble in the reaction vessel. It is usually white and opaque.
