75.0mL of 0.0860MCuSOX4 solution, acidified with dilute HCl, is treated with excess HX2S. Assuming complete precipitation as CuS (molar mass 95.5gmol−1 from Cu 63.5, S 32), calculate the mass of CuS formed in grams, correct to two decimal places.
Numerical answer type, answer in g, tolerance 0.01.
Answer: 0.62 g
n(CuX2+)=0.0860×0.0750=0.00645mol. Since CuX2++HX2SCuS+2HX+ is 1:1, n(CuS)=0.00645mol. Mass =0.00645×95.5=0.6160g≈0.62g.
