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.

HELP! THIS IS A TIMED QUIZ!!
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

A) Age!! Its because even if the object was 1 year old or 100 years old, nothing about the impact would change. However, those other categories depict features that would definitely make an impact. For example as object that is big, fast, and hits at an angle perpendicular to whatever it is moving towards, the impact will be very lage. But if its the opposite and it was small and slow, then the impact crater would not be as large. Good luck on your quiz!!
