A compound of copper and sulfur contains 76.84 g of metal and 38.53 g of nonmetal. How many grams of copper are in 3801 kg of the compound? How many grams of sulfur?

There are:

Explanation:

First calculate the percentage of Cu and S in the compound:

These percentages will remain the same no matter how much of the compound we analyze.

Now we calculate the grams of Cu and S in 3801 kg of the compound:

number of molecules / avogadro's number * molecule molecular = mass

explanation:

we define a gram-molecular weight as the mass of one mole of any element or compound. a mole contains avogadro's number of units (molecules) –  

6.022

x

10

23

. so, dividing the number of molecules by avogadro's number gives us the number of moles. multiplying that by the molecular weight gives us the mass. from the periodic table we find the gram-molecular weight of u to be238 and of f to be19. so,  

u

f

will have a gram-molecular weight of 352g.

the number of protons in the nucleus of a given element. has slight luster and conducts electricity at high temperatures like metal.but like a nonmetal,boron is brittle and does not conduct electricity well at low temperatures. in graphite, carbon is a soft,brittle solid.it is reflective,ductile,or malleable.
