In an experiment, 2.54 grams of copper completely reacts with sulfur, producing 3.18 grams of copper(i) sulfide.
determine the total mass of sulfur consumed.
write the chemical formula of the compound produced.

               0.64 g of S

Solution:

               The balance chemical equation is as follow,

                                           2 Cu + S > Cu₂S

According to equation,

                        127 g (2 mole) Cu produces = 159 g (1 mole) of Cu₂S

So,

                                 2.54 g Cu will produce = X g of Cu₂S

Solving for X,

                     X = (2.54 g * 159 g) / 127 g

                     X = 3.18 g of Cu₂S

Now, it is confirmed that the reaction is 100% ideal. Therefore,

As,

                       127 g (2 mole) Cu required = 32 g (1 mole) of S

So,

                                2.54 g Cu will require = X g of S

Solving for X,

                      X = (2.54 g * 32 g) / 127 g

                      X = 0.64 g of S

percent abundance for cu-63 can be shown as:

63 x + 65 (1-x) = 62.9296

65 - 62.9296 = 2 x

x = 1.035

thus, percent abundance for cu-63 is 1.035

percent abundance for cu-65 can be shown as:

63 x + 65 (1-x) = 64.9278

65 - 64.9278 = 2 x

x = 0.0361

thus, percent abundance for cu-63 is 0.0361

the mass spectrum of cu-63 showing the intense peak as, this isotope is found in nature more abundantly around 92.38 % in comparison to cu-65 which is found 62.58 % naturally
