(Solved): Chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) is an abundant copper mineral that can be converted into elemental copper ...
Chalcopyrite (CuFeS2?) is an abundant copper mineral that can be converted into elemental copper through the four step process below. 2CuFeS2?+3O2??2CuS+2FeO+2SO2?2FeO+SiO2??2FeSiO3?2CuS?Cu2?S+SCu2?S+S+O2??2Cu+2SO2?? 2nd attempt Part 1 (1 point) Calculate the mass of Cu ing from 5.20kgCuFeS. g Part 2 (1 point) Calculate the mass of CuFeS2? needed in g to produce 650.0gCu if the yield for the conversion process is 82%.
We are given the four-step process by which the copper mineral is produced. To proceed with the different parts of the question, we need the overall reaction for the production of copper. To obtain the overall reaction for the production of copper, we will add the step reactions: -------------------------------------------------------------------
