Answer

This document contains 5 chemistry problems involving percent purity, percent yield, and stoichiometric calculations for various reactions involving the decomposition of metal carbonates, sulfides, and oxides to produce other metal oxides, sulfides, and metals. The problems involve writing balanced chemical equations, determining masses of reactants and products, and calculating percent purity and percent yields. The final problem is identified as particularly challenging and involves determining the mass of products and unreacted reactants for a reaction involving silicon dioxide, hydrogen fluoride, silicon tetrafluoride, and water.

1. The roasting of siderite ore, FeCO3, produces iron (III) oxide:


FeCO3 + O2  Fe2O3 + CO2
a. What is the balanced equation?
4 FeCO3 + O2  2 Fe2O3 + 4 CO2
b. A 15.0 g FeCO3 sample is 42.0% pure. What mass of Fe2O3 can the sample produce?
(6.30 g pure FeCO3 will react)
4.34 g Fe2O3
c. A second sample of FeCO3, with a mass of 55.0 g is roasted so as to produce 37.0g of Fe 2O3.
What is the percentage purity of FeCO3?
(53.7g pure FeCO3)
53.7g / 55.0 g * 100% = 97.6 %
d. A 35.0 g sample of pure FeCO3 produces 22.5 g of Fe2O3. What is the percentage yield of the
reaction?
(24.1g pure Fe2O3 produced)
22.5g / 24.1 g *100% = 93.3%
e. What mass of siderite ore with a purity of 62.8% is needed to make 1.00 kg of Fe 2O3?
2310 g

2. A 100. g sample of impure FeS2 is roasted to produce Fe2O3 + SO2:


4 FeS2 + 11 O2  2 Fe2O3 + 8 SO2
If 4.50 L of SO2 is collected at STP, what percentage of FeS2 is in the sample?
(find the mass of FeS2 required to make 4.50L of SO2 = 12.1 g FeS2)
12.1%

3. When 5.000 kg of malachite ore containing 4.30% of malachite, Cu 2(OH)2CO3, is heated, the product
is copper (II) oxide:

a. What is the balanced equation?
Cu(OH)2CO3  CO2 + 2 CuO + H2O
b. If the reaction has an 84.0% yield, how many grams of CuO are produced?
1.30 x 102 g

malachite is required to produce 100.0g of CuO?
4.32 x 103 g

4. A mine produces a silver ore named argentite, Ag2S. The ore is smelted according to the overall
reaction

a. What is the balanced equation?
Ag2S + C + 2 O2  2 Ag + CO2 + SO2
b. A 250.0 kg load of argentite ore contains 0.135% pure Ag2S. What mass of silver metal can
be produced from the load of core?
294 g
c. A 76.4 g test sample of ore from a new ore vein produces 0.261g of pure silver. What is the
percentage of pure argentite in the ore?
0.392%
d. A sample of pure Ag2S has a mass of 152.6 g. When smelted, the sample produces 117.4 g of
pure Ag. What is the percentage yield of the smelting process?
88.38%
