Copper metal can be produced by roasting copper ore which can contain cuprite (Cu2S) and copper (II) sulfide.
Cu2S (s) + O2 (g) - 2 Cu (s) + SO2 (g)
CuS (s) + O2 (g) - Cu (s) +SO2 (g)
Suppose the ore contains 11.0 % impurity in addition to a mixture of CuS and Cu2S.
Heating 100.0 g of the ore produces 75.4 g of copper metal with a purity of 89.5 %
The ore was __________ % CuS and __________ % Cu2S

Question

Copper metal can be produced by roasting copper ore which can contain cuprite (Cu2S) and copper (II) sulfide.
Cu2S (s) + O2 (g)   ->  2 Cu (s) + SO2 (g)
CuS (s)  + O2 (g) -> Cu (s) +SO2 (g)
Suppose the ore contains 11.0 % impurity in addition to a mixture of CuS and Cu2S.
Heating 100.0 g of the ore produces 75.4 g of copper metal with a purity of 89.5 %
The ore was __________ % CuS and __________ % Cu2S
