Question

How many moles of copper are needed to react with sulfur to produce 2.9 moles of copper (I) sulfide

Answer 1

Answer:

5.8 moles of copper are needed to react with sulfur to produce 2.9 moles of copper (I) sulfide.

Explanation:

$2Cu+S\rightarrow Cu_2S$

Moles of copper(I) sufide = 2.9 mol

According to reaction, 1 mole of copper(I) sulfide is obtained from 2 moles of copper, then 2.9 moles of copper(I) sulfide will be obtained from :

$\frac{2}{1}\times 2.9 mol=5.8 mol$ copper

5.8 moles of copper are needed to react with sulfur to produce 2.9 moles of copper (I) sulfide.
