Answer #1

moles of Cu =79.85 / 63.55

                    = 1.256

moles of   S = 20.15 / 32

                      = 0.6297

moles of Cu : S = 1.256 : 0.6297

                             = 2 : 1

empirical formula = Cu2S

    19 Question (1 point) See page 302 "Native, or elemental copper can be found in nature, but most copper is mined as oxide or sulfide minerals. Chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) is one copper mineral that can be converted to elemental copper in a series of chemical steps. Reacting chalcopyrite with oxygen at high temperature produces a mixture of copper sulfide and iron oxide. The iron oxide is separated from CuS by reaction with sand (SiO2). Cus is converted to Cu S in...
