  • Chalcopyrite Composition: CuFeS₂ Properties & Occurrence
    Chalcopyrite is a copper iron sulfide mineral with the chemical formula CuFeS2.

    Here's a breakdown of its composition:

    * Copper (Cu): Approximately 34.5% by weight

    * Iron (Fe): Approximately 30.5% by weight

    * Sulfur (S): Approximately 35% by weight

    Chalcopyrite is a common ore of copper and is often found alongside other copper sulfides like bornite and pyrite.
