Answer:
(c) 15.39 kg of copper present in 1tonne of ore.
Explanation:
We are given that ore contains 3% of copper carbonate
1tonne = 1000kg
3% of copper carbonate in 1000kg of ore will be
= [tex]\frac{3}{100}*1000[/tex] = 30kg
30 kg of copper carbonate is present in ore
CuCO3 has 63.5g of cupper present in it
molar mass of CuCO3 = 123.5
so the percentage of copper present in CuCO3
= [tex]\frac{63.5}{123.5}*100[/tex] = 51.3% of copper present per kg CuCO3
Now
amount of copper present in 30kg of CuCO3
= [tex]\frac{51.3}{100}* 30[/tex] = 15.39kg
15.39 kg of copper present in 1tonne of ore
The mass of copper obtained from 1 tonne of the ore is 15.4 kg
The copper ore has 3% of copper carbonate by mass.
The mass of copper carbonate in 1 tonne of the ore can be calculated below.
1000 kg = 1 tonne
Therefore,
mass of copper carbonate = 3 /100 × 1000 = 30 kg
atomic mass of copper = 63.5 g
molar mass of CuCO₃ = 123.55 g
123.55 g of CuCO₃ gives 63.5 g of copper
30, 000g of CuCO₃ will give ? of copper
cross multiply
mass of copper = 30,000 × 63.5 / 123.55
mass of copper = 1905000 / 123.55 = 15418.8587616 g
mass of copper = 15418.8587616 / 1000 ≈ 15. 4 kg
