To answer this problem, we write first the stoichiometric equation. Thus we have,
Cu2S + O2 => 2Cu + SO2
Next, we check if the equation is balanced or not.
(left) (right)
2 Cu = 2 Cu
1 S = 1 S
2 O = 2 O
So the stoichiometric equation is balanced, let's proceed in solving the theoretical yield of Cu given 5 g of Cu2S.
First, we solve for Cu2S in moles,
5 g Cu2S x <u>1 mol Cu2S </u> = 0.0314 mol Cu2S
159.16 g Cu2s
Secondly, convert moles of Cu2S to moles Cu. Note for every mole of Cu2S we get 2 moles of Cu. Thus,
0.0314 mo Cu2S x <u> 2 mol Cu </u> = 0.0628 mole Cu<u>
</u> 1 mol Cu2S
Lastly, we convert mole Cu to g Cu via multiplying by Cu's MW.
0.0628 mole Cu x <u>63.546 g Cu </u> = 3.99 g Cu or 4 g Cu<u>
</u> 1 mole Cu
<em>ANSWER: 4 g Cu</em>
Answer:
it is the objects mass, I learned this last semester
Colligative properties depend on the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent. These set of properties do not depend on the type of species present. These properties include freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, osmotic pressure and vapor pressure lowering.
They are called groups or family. Hope this helps
