22. Copper is obtained from sulfide ores through a two-step process consisting
of roasting the ore in the presence of oxygen and heating the resultant copper(I)
oxide with powdered carbon. The overall reaction is as follows:
2Cu2S (s) + 302 (g) + 2C (s) → 2SO2 (g) + 4Cu (s) + 2CO (g)
Calculate the maximum yield of copper obtained from 1.60 kg of Cu2S.

Hematite, Fe203, is an important ore of iron. (An ore is a natural
substance from which the metal can be profitably obtained.) The free
metal is obtained by reacting hematite with carbon monoxide, CO, in a
blast furnace. Carbon monoxide is formed in the furnace by partial
combustion of carbon. The reaction is
Fe203(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO2(g)
How many grams of iron can be produced from 1.17 kg Fe203?
g Fe
