There are two steps in the extraction of copper metal from chalcocite, a copper ore. In the first step, copper(I) sulfide and ox

ygen react to form copper(I) oxide and sulfur dioxide:
2Cu2S+ 3O2 â 2Cu2O + 2SO2

In the second step, copper(I) oxide and carbon react to form copper and carbon monoxide:

Cu2 O(s)+ C(s) â 2Cu(s)+ CO(g)

Write the net chemical equation for the production of copper from copper(I) sulfide, oxygen and carbon.

Answer:

2Cu2S + 3O2 + 2C -------> 4Cu + 2SO2 + 2CO

Explanation:

Equation 1 should correctly be written as;

2Cu2S + 3O2-----> 2Cu2O + 2SO2

Equation 2 should be correctly written as;

2Cu2O + 2C -----> 4Cu + 2CO

The overall reaction equation is;

2Cu2S + 3O2 + 2C -------> 4Cu + 2SO2 + 2CO

Note that species that are intermediates are cancelled out .

Answer:

turgor pressure can be done in a lab or a self test.

turgor pressure is key to the plant’s vital processes. It makes the plant cell stiff and rigid. Without it, the plant cell becomes flaccid. Prolonged flaccidity could lead to the wilting of plants.

Turgor pressure is also important in stomate formation. The turgid guard cells create an opening for gas exchange. Carbon dioxide could enter and be used for photosynthesis. Other functions are apical growth, nastic movement, and seed dispersal.

Explanation:

  • salt is bad for turgor pressure.
  • Turgidity helps the plant to stay upright. If the cell loses turgor pressure, the cell becomes flaccid resulting in the wilting of the plant.
  • The wilted plant on the left has lost its turgor as opposed to the plant on the right that has turgid cells.
