How many moles of copper are needed to react with sulfur to produce 0.25 moles of copper (i) sulfide according to the following reaction: 2 Cu + S = Cu2S

0.5 mole

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is given below:

2Cu + S —> Cu2S

We can calculate the mole of copper (Cu) needed to react with sulphur (S) to produce 0.25 mole of copper(I) sulfide (Cu2S) by doing the following:

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of Cu reacted to produced 1 mole of Cu2S.

Therefore, Xmol of Cu will react to produce 0.25 mole of Cu2S i.e

Xmol of Cu = 2 x 0.25 = 0.5 mole

Therefore, 0.5 mole of copper (Cu) will react with sulphur (S) to produce 0.25 mole of copper(i)sulfide (Cu2S)

oxygen, selenium, tellurium, and polonium.

they're all from the same group as sulfur (group 16).

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.
