The volume of sphere can be calculated using the following formula:

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}

Here, r is radius of the sphere which is 8 cm. Putting the value,

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}=\frac{4}{3}(3.14)(8 cm)^{3}=2143.57 cm^{3}

This is equal to the volume of lead, density of lead is 11.34 g/cm^{3} thus, mass of lead can be calculated as follows:

m=d\times V=11.34 g/cm^{3}\times 2143.57 cm^{3}=2.43\times 10^{4}g

Let the mass of ore be 1 g, 68.5% of galena is obtained by mass, thus, mass of galena obtained will be 0.685 g.

Now, 86.6% of lead is obtained from this gram of galena, thus, mass of lead will be:

m=0.685×0.866=0.5932 g

Therefore, 0.5932 g of lead is obtained from 1 g of ore, if the efficiency is 100%.

For 92.5% efficiency, mass of lead obtained will be:

m=\frac{92.5}{100}\times 0.5932=0.5487 g

Thus, 1 g of lead obtain from \frac{1}{0.5487}=1.822 grams of ore.

Thus, 2.43\times 10^{4} g of lead obtain from:

2.43\times 10^{4}\times 1.822=4.42\times 10^{4}g=44.2 kg

Therefore, mass of ore required to make lead sphere is 44.2 kg.

Answer:

44kg

Explanation:

Volume of the lead sphere is = 4/3*π*(r)3

= 4/3*π*(8.0)3

= 4/3 * π * ( 512)

= 4/3 * 22/7 * (512)

= 2145.52 cm3

The consists of 68.5% galena while galena consists 86.6% lead.

Only 92.5% of the lead can be extracted.

Assuming X as the amount of ore needed

mass of ore can be determined as:

92.5% of 86.6% of 68.5% of X = 2145.52

0.925 * 0.866 * 0.685*X=2145.52

X=0.54871925/2145.52

=44kg]

What is the term for a liquid composed of polar molecules?
IrinaVladis [17]
A dissolving liquid composed of polar molecules is a polar solvent.

The distinction of polar and non-polar liquids is important because the like dissolves like rule. This rule states that the solubility is greater when the polarity of the liquid is similar to the polarity of the solute.

So, to dissolve polar compounds (e.g. ionic compounds) you should use polar solvents (e.g. water).

Answer: polar solvent
