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: (s) (aq) (s) (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 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 .

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) + CuSO4 (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  200.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 95.mg

Calculate the original concentration of copper(II) sulfate in the sample. Round your answer to 2  significant digits.

The concentration of copper sulfate in the sample is 0.0075 M

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

Given mass of copper = 95 mg = 0.095 g     (Conversion factor:  1 g = 1000 mg)

Molar mass of copper = 63.55 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

The given chemical equation follows:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of copper is formed by 1 mole of copper sulfate

So, 0.0015 moles of copper will be formed by = of copper sulfate

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

Moles of copper sulfate = 0.0015 moles

Volume of solution = 200 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the concentration of copper sulfate in the sample is 0.0075 M

the answer is c i took the test
