The rock in a lead ore deposit contains 84% pbs by mass. how many kilograms of the rock must be processed to obtain 2.3 kg of pb?
kg

3.162 kg

Explanation:

1) Mass percent = (mass of a part / total mass) × 100

2) 84% PbS by mass.

Percent PbS = ( mass of pure PbS / mass of the rock) × 100 = 84%

⇒ mass of the rock = mass of pure PbS × 100 / 84 =

⇒ mass of the rock = mass of pure PbS / 0.84 ← this is fhe formula that you will uise at the end.

2) Determine the mass of pure PbS that contains 2.3 kg of Pb

i) Unit formula: PbS

ii) molar mass of PbS: 207.2 g/mol + 32.065 g/mol = 239.265 g/mol

iii) proportion:

207.2 g of Pb / 239.265 g of PbS = 2,300 g of Pb / x

⇒ x = 2,300 × 239.265 g of PbS / 207.2 = 2,655.93 g of PbS = 2.656 Kg of PbS

4) Use the formula to determine how many kilograms of the rock contain 2.565 kg of pure PbS

mass of the rock = mass of pure PbS / 0.84 = 2.565 / 0.84 = 3.162 kg

answer

fusion: the energy source of stars. the energy released from the collapse of the gas into a protostar causes the center of the protostar to become extremely hot. when the core is hot enough, nuclear fusion commences. fusion is the process where two hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium atom, releasing energy.
