A copper ore containing 4.3 wt% water, 10.3 wt% CuSO, and 85.3 wt% rock is fed to a staged counter current extractor at a rate o

f 11.7 tons per hour. We wish to recover 98% of the copper sulfate using pure water as the fresh solvent. The solution produced is to be 10 wt% copper sulfate and 90 wt% water. If after each stage 1 ton of inert rock retains 2 tons of water plus the dissolved copper sulfate, how many stages are required?

Answer:

6 stages

Explanation:

Given:

Copper ore contains:

4.3 wt% water

10.3 wt% CuSO₄

85.3 wt% rock

Feed rate = 11.7 tons per hour

solution produced is to be 10 wt% copper sulfate

90 wt% water

Now,

The CuSO₄ supplied through the feed = 10.3 wt% CuSO₄ × Feed rate

= 0.103 × 11.7

= 1.2051 tons per hour

also,

At each stage 2 tons of solution is collected

therefore,

The CuSO₄ collected in each stage

= weight of solution × 10 wt% copper sulfate

= 2 tons per hour × 0.1

= 0.2 tons per hour

also,

98% of the CuSO₄ is to be recovered

thus,

the amount of CuSO₄ to be recovered

= 0.98 × CuSO₄ supplied through the feed

= 0.98 × 1.2051 tons per hour

= 1.180998

Therefore,

The number of stages required = \frac{\textup{amount of CuSO₄ to be recovered }}{\textup{CuSO₄ collected in each stage }}

= \frac{\textup{1.180998}}{\textup{0.2}}

= 5.90499 ≈ 6 stages

The compound responsible for the characteristic smell of garlic is allicin, c6h10os2. the mass of 1.00 mol of allicin, rounded t
Gemiola [76]

The compound responsible for the characteristic smell of garlic is allicin, that is having molecular formula C₆H₁₀OS₂.

Molar mass of C₆H₁₀OS₂=162.26 g mol⁻¹.

number of moles of C₆H₁₀OS₂=1 mol

So mass of C₆H₁₀OS₂ can be calculated as:


Number of moles of C_{6}H_{10}OS_{2}, n= \frac{Given mass of the }{Molar mass of theC_{6}H_{10}OS_{2}}

1= \frac{Given mass of the C_{6}H_{10}OS_{2}}{162.26}

Given mass of the C₆H₁₀OS₂= 162 g

A box is sitting on a table. The upward force exerted on the box that stops it from falling through the table is known as the __
romanna [79]

It is know as the normal force.


When a solid is placed on a support, the latter exerts forces on the solid at each point of contact. These are forces that oppose the weight and prevent an object from falling.

This force is usually vertical and upward and often offsets the weight. If the solid is in equilibrium on the support the forces compensate the weight of the solid.

Which of the following statements is correct about the gases which participate in photosynthesis?
Sidana [21]
If you look at the equation for photosynthesis, it is:
<span>6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2
</span>
Since CO2 (carbon dioxide) is on the left side of the equation, it is being consumed, or used up. Since O2 (oxygen) is on the right side, it is being produced.

The correct answer is the first one, "<span>Carbon dioxide is used up, and oxygen is produced."</span>
