<span> It is expensive to extract copper from a contaminated land where the percentage of copper is low using the traditional method because the said method is energy extensive. Energy is a big portion of the cost in any plant. Having a contaminated land means that there are many waste elements than the useful portion of the land. Extracting the useful part requires more energy which results to higher costs.</span>

en un recipiente se tiene 800 g de una solución al 35% en masa de ácido sulfuroso, de la cual se evapora 80ml de agua. ¿cuál es
Alinara [238K]

The mass percent of sulfurous acid in the new solution : 38.9%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

<em>In a container you have 800 g of a 35% by mass solution of sulfurous acid, from which 80 ml of water evaporates. What is the mass percent of sulfurous acid in the new solution? data: density of water is 1g / ml.</em>

<em />

solution 1

composition :

  • 35% acid :

\tt 0.35\times 800~g=280~g

  • water :

\tt 800-280=520~g

solution 2(new solution)

composition :

  • water

\tt 520-(80~ml\times 1~g/ml)=440~g

  • Total mass of new solution after water evaporated

\tt 280(acid)+440(water)=720~g

  • %mass of acid in a new solution

\tt \dfrac{280}{720}\times 100\%=38.9\%
