Question

Convert grams of Cu to grams of CuFeS_2 using balanced equations. The question asks us to determine the amount of chalcopyrite that would be required to produce 100 pennies each containing 3.0 g of copper. In this step we use the molar masses to write a chemical equation to convert grams of copper to grams of CuFeS_2- Using the equations below complete the missing information indicated by the letters A and B to convert grams of Cu to grams of CuFeS_2- Finally, determine the actual number of grams of CuFeS_2 required to produce 100 copper pennies.

Explanation / Answer

A=63g

B=2moles

C=873.9g
