5. How can you tell the difference between CuS and Cu2S

Chemistry
1 answer:
puteri [66]3 years ago
6 0

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.

How many grams of sodium chloride are required to make a 1.0 L solution with a concentration of 3.5 M?
satela [25.4K]
3.5 M has 3.5 moles per litre
so we have one litre, so we need 3.5 moles
moles = mass/molarmass
3.5 * 23 = 80.5

A solute is a strong electrolyte that ionizes into 2 ions. What is the molar mass of this solute if 30.76 grams added to exactly
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

34.9 g/mol is the molar mass for this solute

Explanation:

Formula for boiling point elevation: ΔT = Kb . m . i

ΔT = Temperatures 's difference between pure solvent and solution → 0.899°C

Kb = Ebullioscopic constant → 0.511°C/m

m = molality (moles of solute/1kg of solvent)

i = 2 → The solute is a strong electrolyte that ionizes into 2 ions

For example: AB ⇒ A⁺  +  B⁻

Let's replace → 0.899°C = 0.511 °C/m . m . 2

0.899°C / 0.511 m/°C . 2 = m → 0.879 molal

This moles corresponds to 1 kg of solvent. Let's determine the molar mass

Molar mass (g/mol) → 30.76 g / 0.879 mol = 34.9 g/mol
