Given the equilibrium constants for the following reactions: 4Cu(s) + O2(g) <--> 2Cu2O(s), K1 2CuO(s) <--> Cu2O(s) + 1/2 O2(g), K2 what is K for the system 2Cu(s) + O2(g) <--> 2CuO(s) equivalent to?

Explanation:

                      assuming equation (1)

                     assuming equation (2)

upon reverting equation (1) and multiplying equation (2) by 2

                     , assuming equation (3)

                  assuming equation (4)

upon adding equation (3) and (4) , give  equation (5)

               , equation (5)

  divide equation (5) by 2

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an   carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).

atomic mass = 39
