Answer:
Density, melting point. and magnetic properties
Explanation:
I can think of three ways.
1. Density
The density of Cu₂S is 5.6 g/cm³; that of CuS is 4.76 g/cm³.
It should be possible to distinguish these even with high school equipment.
2. Melting point
Cu₂S melts at 1130 °C (yellowish-red); CuS decomposes at 500 °C (faint red).
A Bunsen burner can easily reach these temperatures.
3. Magnetic properties
You can use a Gouy balance to measure the magnetic susceptibilities.
In Cu₂S the Cu⁺ ion has a d¹⁰ electron configuration, so all the electrons are paired and the solid is diamagnetic.
In CuS the Cu²⁺ ion has a d⁹ electron configuration, so all there is an unpaired electron and the solid is paramagnetic.
A sample of Cu₂S will be repelled by the magnetic field and show a decrease in weight.
A sample of CuS will be attracted by the magnetic field and show an increase in weight.
In the picture below, you can see the sample partially suspended between the poles of an electromagnet.
Answer:
Explanation:
Heat required to convert ice to ice at 0⁰C
= mass x specific heat x rise in temperature
= 18 x 2.09 x 20
= 752.4 J .
heat required to convert ice at 0⁰C to water at 0⁰C
mass x latent heat of fusion
= 18 x 336
= 6048 J
Heat required to increase the temperature of water to 100⁰C
= 18 x 4.2 x 100
= 7560 J
Total heat required
7560 + 6048 + 752.4
= 14360.4 J
Density is a physical property of matter
Answer:
To calculate the molar mass of a compound with multiple atoms, sum all the atomic mass of the constituent atoms molar mass can also be calculated by multiplying the atomic mass in amu by the molar mass constant (1 g/mol).
