    Given:

    Mass of CuCl = 9.90 g

    To determine:

    Mass of Cu2S produced

    Explanation:

    Balanced reaction-

    2CuCl + H2S → Cu2S + 2HCl

    In the presence of excess H2S, CuCl will be the limiting reagent

    Thus, based on stoichiometry: 2 moles of CuCl will produce 1 mole of Cu2S

    Now,

    given mass of CuCl = 9.9 g

    molar mass of CuCl = 99 g/mol

    # moles of CuCl = 9.9/99 = 0.1 moles

    Moles of Cu2S produced = 0.1 * 1/2 = 0.05 moles

    Molar mass of Cu2S = 159 g/mol

    Mass of Cu2S produced = 7.95 g

    Ans: Thus the yield of Cu2S is 7.95 g

    The grams of CuS produced is 7.95 mass

    calculation

    Step 1: write the equation for reaction

    2CUCl + H2S → CU2S + 2 HCl

    Step 2 : calculate the moles of CUCl

    moles = mass/molar mass

    The molar mass of CuCl = 63.5 for CU + 35.5 for Cl = 99 g/mol

    =9.90 g / 99 g/mol = 0.1 moles

    Step 3: use the mole ratio to determine the moles of CU2S

    CUCl:CU2S is 2:1 therefore the moles of CU2S = 0.1 x1/2=0.05 moles

    step 4: find the mass of CU2S

    mass = molar mass x moles

    The molar mass of CU2S = (2 x 63.5) + 32 = 159 g/mol

    mass = 0.05 x 159 = 7.95 mass
