2Cu + S = Cu₂S

n(Cu)=m(Cu)/M(Cu)
n(Cu)=12.71/63.55=0.2 mol

n(S)=m(s)/M(S)
n(S)=8.000/32.01=0.25 mol

Cu:S  2:1  
0.2 mol : 0.25 mol copper deficiency, sulphur in excess

theoretical mass of copper (I) sulfide 
m(Cu₂S)=M(Cu₂S)n(Cu)/2

the percentage yield in the reaction is
w=m'(Cu₂S)/m(Cu₂S)=2m'(Cu₂S)/M(Cu₂S)n(Cu)
w=2*14.72/(159.16*0.2)=0.925 (92.5%)

A tank contains 90 kg of salt and 2000 L of water. Pure water enters a tank at the rate 6 L/min. The solution is mixed and drain
sashaice [31]

Answer:

a) 90 kg

b) 68.4 kg

c) 0 kg/L

Explanation:

Mass balance:

-w=\frac{dm}{dt}

w is the mass flow

m is the mass of salt

-v*C=\frac{dm}{dt}

v is the volume flow

C is the concentration

C=\frac{m}{V+(6-3)*L/min*t}

-v*\frac{m}{V+(6-3)*L/min*t}=\frac{dm}{dt}

-3*L/min*\frac{m}{2000L+(3)*L/min*t}=\frac{dm}{dt}

-3*L/min*\frac{dt}{2000L+(3)*L/min*t}=\frac{dm}{m}

-3*L/min*\int_{0}^{t}\frac{dt}{2000L+(3)*L/min*t}=\int_{90kg}^{m}\frac{dm}{m}

-[ln(2000L+3*L/min*t)-ln(2000L)]=ln(m)-ln(90kg)

-ln[(2000L+3*L/min*t)/2000L]=ln(m/90kg)

m=90kg*[2000L/(2000L+3*L/min*t)]

a) Initially: t=0

m=90kg*[2000L/(2000L+3*L/min*0)]=90kg

b) t=210 min (3.5 hr)

m=90kg*[2000L/(2000L+3*L/min*210min)]=68.4kg

c) If time trends to infinity the  division trends to 0 and, therefore, m trends to 0. So, the concentration at infinit time is 0 kg/L.

Types of osmosis...in 50 words​
ICE Princess25 [194]

<h3>Types of Osmosis</h3>

Osmosis is of two types:

Endosmosis– When a substance is placed in a hypotonic solution, the solvent molecules move inside the cell and the cell becomes turgid or undergoes deplasmolysis. This is known as endosmosis.

Exosmosis– When a substance is placed in a hypertonic solution, the solvent molecules move outside the cell and the cell becomes flaccid or undergoes plasmolysis. This is known as exosmosis.

Controlled nuclear chain reactions
Lunna [17]
The nuclear reactions which are under experimenter's control are said to be controlled nuclear reactions. In this, you can maintain the speed of the incident particle. α and β-decay process are examples of non-controlled nuclear reactions.
