Copper can be drawn into thin wires. how many meters of 34-gauge wire (diameter 6. in) can be produced from the copper in 5.01 lb of covellite, an ore of copper that is 66% copper by mass? (hint: treat the wire as a cylinder: v of cylinder ; d of copper 8.95 g/cm3.)

Covellite ore contains 66% copper by mass thus, in 5.01 lb of covellit, mass of copper will be :

Converting mass into grams,

1 lb=453.592 g

Thus, 5.01 lb=2272.498 g

The density of copper is , calculate volume as follows:

Comparing this volume of cylinder because shape of wire is cylindrical.

Since, 34 gauge=0.00630 inch

Convert inch into cm,

1 inch=2.54 cm

Thus,

0.00630 inch=0.016002 cm

The diameter of wire is 0.016002 cm, calculate radius as follows:

Rearranging equation for volume and putting the values,

1 cm=0.01 m thus,

Thus, the length of wire is .
