The mass of,
, compound formed is 77.9g
62 grams of copper reacted with 32grams of sulfur to form copper sulfide.
![Cu + S_2 \rightarrow CuS_2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Cu%20%20%2B%20%20%20S_2%20%5Crightarrow%20%20CuS_2)
stoichiometry of Cu to S is 2:1
We need to find the limiting reactant
Molar mass of copper = 63.5 g/mol
Molar mass of Sulfur = 32 g/mol
Number of moles of Copper = ![\dfrac{mass} {molar mass } = 0.99mole](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7Bmass%7D%20%7Bmolar%20mass%20%7D%20%3D%200.99mole)
Number of moles of Sulfur = ![\dfrac{mass} {molar mass} = \dfrac{32g} {32g/mol} = 1 mole](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7Bmass%7D%20%7Bmolar%20mass%7D%20%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7B32g%7D%20%7B32g%2Fmol%7D%20%3D%201%20mole)
Since copper have lesser number of moles, therefore the limiting reagent is copper so the amount of product formed depends on amount of Cu present
stoichiometry of Copper to
is 2:1
0.99 mol of Copper forms =
= 0.49 mol of ![Cu_2S](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Cu_2S)
Mass of
produced = Number of moles
Molar mass
Mass of
produced = 0.49 mol
159 g/mol = 77.9g
