Chalcopyrite (CuFeSa), is an important source of copper. A typical chalcopyrite ore contains about0.75% Cu. What volume of sulfur dioxide at 25°Cand 1 atm pressure is produced when one boxcarload (4x 10^3 cu.ft} of chalcopyrite ore (density = 2.6 g/cu.cm) is roasted? Assume all the sulfur in the ore is converted to SO2 and no other %3D source of sulfur is present
