Question

2Cu+S→Cu2S

Answer 1

15.9 grams is the amount of copper sulfate this reaction will produce.

Given:

• The reaction between copper and sulfur:

$2Cu +S\rightarrow Cu_2S$

• 12.7 grams of copper completely reacts with 3.2 grams of sulfur to give copper sulfide.

To find:

The mass of copper sulfide produced

Solution

Mass of copper used by the scientist = 12.7 g

Mass of sulfur used by the scientist = 3.2 g

Mass of copper sulfide this reaction will produce. =?

According to the law of conservation of mass:

Total mass of reactants = Total mass of products

The total mass of reactants in the reaction = R = 12.7 g + 3.2 g = 15.9 g

The total mass of product formed in the reaction = P

P = R = 15.9 g

Mass of copper sulfide this reaction will produce = 15.9 g

15.9 grams is the amount of copper sulfate this reaction will produce.
