<u>Answer:</u> The mass of copper produced is 7.12 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}     .....(1)

Given mass of copper (I) sulfide = 8.80 g

Molar mass of copper (I) sulfide = 156.2 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of copper (I) sulfide}=\frac{8.80g}{156.2g/mol}=0.056mol

The chemical equation for the reaction of copper (I) sulfide and oxygen gas follows:

Cu_2S+O_2\rightarrow 2Cu+SO_2

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of copper (I) sulfide produces 2 moles of copper

So, 0.056 moles of copper (I) sulfide will produce = \frac{2}{1}\times 0.056=0.112mol of copper

Now, calculating the mass of copper from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of copper = 63.55 g/mol

Moles of copper = 0.112 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.112mol=\frac{\text{Mass of copper}{63.55g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of copper}=(0.112mol\times 63.55g/mol)=7.12g

Hence, the mass of copper produced is 7.12 grams

How are acids and bases defined by bronsted lowry?​
lesantik [10]

A Bronsted-Lowry acid is a chemical species that donates one or more hydrogen ions in a reaction. In contrast, a Bronsted-Lowry base accepts hydrogen ions. When it donates its proton, the acid becomes its conjugate base. A more general look at the theory is as an acid as a proton donor and a base as a proton acceptor. :)
