  1. Calculate the percent composition of each of the following compounds: A) acetone, CH 3 COCH 3 Molar mass = 58.0 g/mol %C = 62.1% C %H = 10.3% H %O = 27.6% O B) aspirin, CH 3 COOC 6 H 4 COOH Molar mass = 180.0 g/mol %C = 60.0% C %H = 4.4% H %O = 35.6% O
  2. Copper is obtained from ores containing the following minerals: Azurite, Cu 3 (CO 3 ) 2 (OH) 2 % Cu: 55.3% Chalcocite, Cu 2 S % Cu: 79.8% Chalcopyrite, CuFeS 2 % Cu: 34.6% Covelite, CuS % Cu: 66.4% Cuprite, Cu 2 O % Cu: 88.8% Malachite, Cu 2 CO 3 (OH) 2 % Cu: 57.5% Calculate the % of each mineral that consists of COPPER. Which mineral has the highest copper content on a percent-by-mass (percent composition) basis? Why might this information be important to a mine developer? *Highest % Cu is CUPRITE (88.8%). **A mine developer needs to know if there is enough Cu available in the ore to make it cost-efficient.
