a sample of copper wire with a mass of 1.659 g is heated with excess powdered sulfur until the copper has combined with the sulf

ur, and all the extra sulfur has been burned off. The final product (a sulfide of copper) has a mass of 2.080 g. Calculate the empirical formula of the product, and name it.

First you figure out how many grams of sulfur has been used.
2.080g - 1.659g = 0.421g of S used
Now change all of your grams to mols.
1.659g of Cu / 63.546g/mol = 0.02611mol of Cu
0.421g of S / 32.065g/mol = 0.01313 mol of S
From this you can see that S has less so we divide both numbers by the number of moles of S so we can get a ratio of S to Cu.
0.01313/0.01313 = 1 for S
0.02611/0.01313 = 2 for Cu
So the empirical formula would be Cu2S or copper sulfide.

What are the traditional states of matter, and what type of property is a matter's state?
Nata [24]
The three traditional states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.
A state of matter would be considered a physical property as it does not change the chemical composition of the substance and is reversible.
Ex) Freezing water will turn it to ice. The ice is still water and therefore, has not changed chemically. If we warm the ice, it turns to water. That reaction is then considered reversible.
Hope this helped :)

If chlorine gas is bubbled through an aqueous solution of sodium iodide, the result is elemental iodine and aqueous sodium chlor
zvonat [6]
The balanced reaction that describes the reaction of chlorine gas and sodium iodide to produce elemental iodine and sodium chloride in aqueous solution is expressed Cl2+2NaI= I2 + 2NaCl. This kind of reaction is called single replacement reaction where the anion, in this case, is only replaced.
