Many mining operations produce tailings that can be oxidized to form acids, including sulfuric acid. One chemical that reacts in this way is chalcopyrite, CuFeS2, whose net oxidation can be described by the following equation. 4 CuFeS2(s) + 17 O2(g) + 10 H2O(1) → 4 Fe (OH),(s) + 4 CuSO4(aq) +4 H2SO4(ag) În a laboratory experiment to study weathering, a mining engineer put a 1.68 kg sample of CuFeS2(s) near an empty 40 L container. Simulated weathering experiments were conducted and the runoff was collected, leading to 35.7 L of solution. A 25.00 mL aliquot of this solution was analyzed with 0.0100 M NaOH(ag). The titration required 32.1 mL of base. (a) What was the concentration (in M) of sulfuric acid? (b) Assuming the only acid in the container comes from the reacted chalcopyrite, what mass (in g) of the chalcopyrite has reacted? (c) What percentage of the chalcopyrite reacted in this experiment?

One way in which the useful metal copper is produced is by dissolving the mineral azurite, which contains copper(II) carbonate, in concentrated sulfuric acid. The sulfuric acid reacts with the copper(II) carbonate to produce a blue solution of copper(II) sulfate. Scrap iron is then added to this solution, and pure copper metal precipitates out because of the following chemical reaction: Fe(s) + CuSO (aq) → Cu(s) + FeSO4(aq) ? Suppose an industrial quality-control chemist analyzes a sample from a copper processing plant in the following way. He adds powdered iron to a 150. mL copper(II) sulfate sample from the plant until no more copper will precipitate. He then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate, and finds that it has a mass of 89. mg. 00. Calculate the original concentration of copper(II) sulfate in the sample.
