### Preparation of Copper Metal from Copper OreCopper metal can be prepared by roasting copper ore. The ore can contain cuprite (\( \text{Cu}_2\text{S} \)) and copper(II) sulfide (\( \text{CuS} \)).#### Relevant Chemical Reactions1. For cuprite:\[ \text{Cu}_2\text{S}(s) + \text{O}_2(g) \rightarrow 2 \text{Cu}(s) + \text{SO}_2(g) \]2. For copper(II) sulfide:\[ \text{CuS}(s) + \text{O}_2(g) \rightarrow \text{Cu}(s) + \text{SO}_2(g) \]#### Problem StatementSuppose an ore sample contains 10.0% impurity in addition to a mixture of \( \text{CuS} \) and \( \text{Cu}_2\text{S} \). Heating 100.0 g of the mixture produces 75.8 g of copper metal with a purity of 91.1%. What are the weight percent of \( \text{CuS} \) and \( \text{Cu}_2\text{S} \) in the ore?#### Calculation Requirements- **Weight percent of \( \text{CuS} \)** in the ore: \[ \boxed{\text{Weight percent of CuS} \: \%} \]- **Weight percent of \( \text{Cu}_2\text{S} \)** in the ore: \[ \boxed{\text{Weight percent of Cu}_2\text{S} \: \%} \]### Steps to Solve the Problem:1. Calculate the actual weight of copper produced from the reaction.2. Determine the total weight of copper that can be produced from the given weights of \( \text{CuS} \) and \( \text{Cu}_2\text{S} \).3. Use stoichiometry to relate the masses of \( \text{CuS} \) and \( \text{Cu}_2\text{S} \) to the masses of copper produced.4. Develop equations using the known purity and total mass.5. Solve for the weights of \( \text{CuS} \) and \( \text{Cu}_2

One way the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tests for chloride contaminants in water is by titrating a sample of silver nitrate solution. Any chloride anions in solution will combine with the silver cations to produce bright white silver chloride precipitate. Suppose an EPA chemist tests a 200.mL sample of groundwater known to be contaminated with iron(III) chloride, which would react with silver nitrate solution like this: FeCl3 (aq) + 3AgNO3 (aq) →3AgCl (s) + (FeNO3)3 (aq) The chemist adds 48.0mM silver nitrate solution to the sample until silver chloride stops forming. She then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate. She finds she has collected 7.5mg of silver chloride. Calculate the concentration of iron(III) chloride contaminant in the original groundwater sample. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
