The rock in a lead ore deposit contains 84% PbS by mass. How many kilograms of the rock must be processed to obtain 2.3 kg of Pb?

Well take 2.3 kg and divide it by .84 to get 2.738 kg then divide the percent of S in the compounds by adding the atomic masses and dividing the atomic mass of S by the atomic mass of the molecule to get 13.40% S by mass
Then you know that Pb is 86.6% by mass so divide 2.738 by .866 to get your answer. Your answer is 3.162 kg of rock is needed

Answer: 3.162 kg


Explanation:


1) Mass percent = (mass of a part / total mass) × 100


2) 84% PbS by mass.


Percent PbS = ( mass of pure PbS / mass of the rock) × 100 = 84%


⇒ mass of the rock = mass of pure PbS × 100 / 84 =


⇒ mass of the rock = mass of pure PbS / 0.84 ← this is fhe formula that you will uise at the end.


2) Determine the mass of pure PbS that contains 2.3 kg of Pb


i) Unit formula: PbS


ii) molar mass of PbS: 207.2 g/mol + 32.065 g/mol = 239.265 g/mol


iii) proportion:


207.2 g of Pb / 239.265 g of PbS = 2,300 g of Pb / x


⇒ x = 2,300 × 239.265 g of PbS / 207.2 = 2,655.93 g of PbS = 2.656 Kg of PbS


4) Use the formula to determine how many kilograms of the rock contain 2.565 kg of pure PbS


mass of the rock = mass of pure PbS / 0.84 = 2.565 / 0.84 = 3.162 kg
