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.

Mass transfer rate in convection is ..... mass transfer in conduction
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

(a) more than

Explanation:

Conduction:

Transfer of heat due to direct contact between two mediums at different temperatures, without having any of the bodies traveling. Therefore, conduction heat transfer occurs by the transfer of momentum (molecular) from always the same group of molecules in one medium to another group of molecules in another medium.

Example: Heat transfer INSIDE a solid.

Convention:

Transfer of heat or mass due to at least one traveling medium, where the transfer of momentum is not bounded anymore to the same groups of molecules. Molecules moving to transfer their momentum and keep flowing to the next group, also allowing other molecules behind to do the same. Example: heat transfer by the wind.

Hence, the Mass transfer rate in convection is <u>more than</u> mass transfer in conduction
