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 .

The elements in Groups 1A(1) and 7A(17) are all quite reactive. What is a major difference between them?
matrenka [14]

The elements in Groups 1A(1) and 7A(17) are all quite reactive.

<h3>Major difference between Groups 1A(1) and 7A(17) : </h3>

Group 7's halogens, which are non-metal elements, become less reactive as you move down the group. In contrast to the alkali metals in Group 1 of the periodic table, this trend is the opposite. The most reactive element in Group 7 is fluorine.

Alkali metals are soft and reactive metals. They react vigorously with water and become more reactive. And other hand halogens are reactive non metals.

  • Elements of group 1A are known as alkali metals. Elements of this group are lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium.
  • Reactivity increase down group 1 but decrease up group 7 this is because group 7 elements react by gaining an electron. As one move down the group, the amount of electron shielding increases, meaning that the electron is less attracted to the nucleus.

chlorine has two naturally occurring isotopes, Cl-35 and Cl-37. The atomic mass of chlorine is 35.45. Which of these two isotope
Sliva [168]
Cl-35, as the atomic mass of Chlorine (35.45) is closer to the number 35 than to the number 37. A higher abundance of CL-35 isotope would have caused the atomic number (which is an average of the values of all isotopes of a substances taking relative abundance into consideration) to decrease from 36, which would appear to be the average.
