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: (s) (g) (s) (g) in the second step, copper(i) oxide and carbon react to form copper and carbon monoxide:

High-pressure liquid chromatography (hplc) is a method used in chemistry and biochemistry to purify chemical substances. the pressures used in this procedure range from around 500 kilopascals (500,000 pa) to about 60,000 kpa (60,000,000 pa). it is often convenient to know the pressure in torr. if an hplc procedure is running at a pressure of 1.03×108 pa , what is its running pressure in torr?
