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

Which has more particles, a mole of copper (Cu) atoms or a mole of neon
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

it is neon because neon has a higher atomic number so it would have more protons and neutrons and electrons in one atom thus having more particles in one mole

How many moles of hydrogen are needed to produce 13.78 mol of ethane?
mamaluj [8]
Ethane is an alkane. Methane is also an alkane and is considered to be the simplest alkane. The difference is ethane has only 2 carbon. That carbon has 6 hydrogen attached to it. So what we do is we multiply the moles of ethane by the number of hydrogen (by dimension analysis) resulting to 82.68 moles H.

Copper atoms are used to produce pennies. The copper atoms in pennies share many electrons. Pennies contain
kaheart [24]

Answer:

Metallic bonds

Explanation:

Metallic bonds joins atoms of metals and atoms of alloys together. The copper used in making pennies is a metallic substance so it contains metallic bonds.

  • The formation of this bond type is predicated on the large atomic radius, low ionization energy and large number of electrons in the valence shell.
  • The bond is an attraction between the positive nuclei of all closely packed atoms in the lattice and the electron cloud.
  • The electron cloud is jointly formed by all the atoms by losing their outermost shell electrons.

This way the bond in pennies are metallic in nature.
