In the production of copper from ore containing copper(II) sulfide, the ore is first roasted to change it to the oxide according to the following equation:
2CuS + 3O2 → 2CuO + 2SO2
Molar Masses:
- CuS (95.611 g/mol)
- O2 (31.9988 g/mol)
- CuO (79.545 g/mol)
- SO2 (64.0638 g/mol)
If 730 g of CuS and 379 g of O2 are available, which reactant is limiting? What mass of CuO will be produced?
- Limiting reactant: Answer
- CuS
- O2
- Mass CuO:
- Answer for part 1 and coordinate 2
- g CuO
What mass of CuO can be formed from the reaction of 12.9 g of CuS and 83.4 g of O2?
- Limiting reactant: Answer
- CuS
- O2
- Mass CuO:
- Answer for part 2 and coordinate 2
- g CuO
