Question

There are two steps in the extraction of copper metal from chalcocite, a copper ore. In the first step, copper(I) sulfide and oxygen react to form copper(I) oxide and sulfur dioxide:

→+2Cu2Ss  3O2g + 2Cu2Os  2SO2g

In the second step, copper(I) oxide and carbon react to form copper and carbon monoxide:

→+Cu2Os  Cs + 2Cus  COg

Suppose the yield of the first step is

86.%

 and the yield of the second step is 

64.%

. Calculate the mass of copper(I) sulfide required to make 

2.0kg

 of copper.

 

Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if needed, and is rounded to the correct number of significant digits.
