Answer : 0.8663 Kg of chalcopyrite must be mined to obtained 300 g of pure Cu.
Solution : Given,
Mass of Cu = 300 g
Molar mass of Cu = 63.546 g/mole
Molar mass of
= 183.511 g/mole
- First we have to calculate the moles of Cu.

The moles of Cu = 4.7209 moles
From the given chemical formula,
we conclude that the each mole of compound contain one mole of Cu.
So, The moles of Cu = Moles of
= 4.4209 moles
- Now we have to calculate the mass of
.
Mass of
= Moles of
× Molar mass of
= 4.4209 moles × 183.511 g/mole = 866.337 g
Mass of
= 866.337 g = 0.8663 Kg (1 Kg = 1000 g)
Therefore, 0.8663 Kg of chalcopyrite must be mined to obtained 300 g of pure Cu.
When an iron is dipped in Copper Sulphate
Solution this reaction between them and
copper sulphate change into blue color to light
green color. This show that iron is more
reactive then copper, it can to replace copper
from CuSO4 , CuSO4 is of blue color and
FeSO4 is light green color.
