Sodium sulfide was added to 27 g of copper (II) chloride. Determine the mass of copper sulfide.

The mass of copper chloride is – 27 g.

Determine the mass of copper sulfide obtained as a result of the reaction. Write down the reaction equation for the interaction of copper chloride and sodium sulfide.

CuCl2 + Na2S = 2NaCl + CuS.

Next, we determine the molar mass of copper chloride.

M (CuCl2) = 134.5 g / mol.

Next, we determine the molar mass of copper sulfide.

M (CuS) = 64 + 32 = 96 g / mol.

Using the reaction equation, we determine the mass of copper sulfide.

27 g of copper chloride – x g of copper sulfide.

134.5 g / mol copper chloride – 96 g / mol copper sulfide.

X = 96 * 27 / 134.5 = 19.3 g.

Answer: the mass of copper sulfide is 19.3 g.
