Question:

Formation of Copper Sulfide?

Predict the effect on a of Cua S if:a. part of the copper reacts with oxygen to produce Cu2Ob. if you have made an error in the final weighing and recorded a final weight 0.10 g higher than the true valuec. if all sulfur has not been driven off

Answer:

Predict the effect on a of Cua S if: a. part of the copper reacts with oxygen to produce Cu2O since Cu2O has a smaller molar mass than has Cu2S you would collect less product & you would assume that there was less sulfur, so a amount of copper would be too high b. if you have made an error in the final weighing and recorded a final weight 0.10 g higher than the true value you would assume you had collected more product you would assume that there was more sulfur, so a amount of copper would be too small c. if all sulfur has not been driven off your final weight would be too heavy you would assume you had collected more product you would assume that there was more sulfur, so a amount of copper would be too small
