The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of which options contain both copper carbonate and copper hydroxide, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the compounds We need to identify the chemical formulas for copper carbonate and copper hydroxide. - Copper carbonate: \( \text{CuCO}_3 \) - Copper hydroxide: \( \text{Cu(OH)}_2 \) ### Step 2: Analyze the options We will analyze each option provided to see if both compounds are present. #### Option A: Malachite - Malachite is known to have the formula \( \text{Cu}_2\text{CO}_3(\text{OH})_2 \). - This indicates that it contains both copper carbonate and copper hydroxide. #### Option B: Azurite - Azurite has the formula \( 2\text{CuCO}_3 \cdot \text{Cu(OH)}_2 \). - This also indicates that it contains both copper carbonate and copper hydroxide. #### Option C: Chalcopyrite - Chalcopyrite has the formula \( \text{CuFeS}_2 \). - This does not contain either copper carbonate or copper hydroxide. ### Step 3: Conclusion From our analysis: - Both Malachite (Option A) and Azurite (Option B) contain copper carbonate and copper hydroxide. - Chalcopyrite (Option C) does not contain either compound. Thus, the correct answer is that both copper carbonate and copper hydroxide are present in options A and B. ### Final Answer: The correct options are A (Malachite) and B (Azurite). ---
