Copper(II) sulfide, CuS, is used in the development of aniline black dye in textile printing. What is the maximum mass of CuS which can be formed when 38.0 mL of 0.500 M CuCl2 are mixed with 42.0 mL of 0.600 M (NH4)2S? Aqueous ammonium chloride is the other product.

Respuesta :

Answer:

1.82 g   is the maximum mass of CuS.

Explanation:

Considering:

[tex]Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}[/tex]

Or,

[tex]Moles =Molarity \times {Volume\ of\ the\ solution}[/tex]

Given :

For [tex]CuCl_2[/tex] :

Molarity = 0.500 M

Volume = 38.0 mL

The conversion of mL to L is shown below:

1 mL = 10⁻³ L

Thus, volume = 38.0×10⁻³ L

Thus, moles of [tex]CuCl_2[/tex] :

[tex]Moles=0.500 \times {38.0\times 10^{-3}}\ moles[/tex]

Moles of [tex]CuCl_2[/tex]  = 0.019 moles

For [tex](NH_4)_2S[/tex] :

Molarity = 0.600 M

Volume = 42.0 mL

The conversion of mL to L is shown below:

1 mL = 10⁻³ L

Thus, volume = 42.0×10⁻³ L

Thus, moles of [tex](NH_4)_2S[/tex] :

[tex]Moles=0.600 \times {42.0\times 10^{-3}}\ moles[/tex]

Moles of [tex](NH_4)_2S[/tex]  = 0.0252 moles

According to the given reaction:

[tex]CuCl_2_{(aq)}+(NH_4)_2S_{(aq)}\rightarrow CuS_{(s)}+2NH_4Cl_{(aq)}[/tex]

1 mole of [tex]CuCl_2[/tex] reacts with 1 mole of [tex](NH_4)_2S[/tex]

So,  

0.019 mole of [tex]CuCl_2[/tex] reacts with 0.019 mole of [tex](NH_4)_2S[/tex]

Moles of [tex](NH_4)_2S[/tex] = 0.019 mole

Available moles of [tex](NH_4)_2S[/tex] = 0.0252 mole

Limiting reagent is the one which is present in small amount. Thus, [tex]CuCl_2[/tex] is limiting reagent.

The formation of the product is governed by the limiting reagent. So,

1 mole of [tex]CuCl_2[/tex] gives 1 mole of [tex]CuS[/tex]

0.019 mole of [tex]CuCl_2[/tex] gives 0.019 mole of [tex]CuS[/tex]

Moles of [tex]CuS[/tex] formed = 0.019 moles

Molar mass of [tex]CuS[/tex] = 95.611 g/mol

Mass of [tex]CuS[/tex] = Moles × Molar mass = 0.019 × 95.611 g = 1.82 g

1.82 g   is the maximum mass of CuS.
