Step-by-step explanation:

The given reaction is as follows.


2Cu(s) + S(s) \rightarrow Cu_(2)S(s)

In this reaction, there are 2 atoms of copper and one atom of sulfur are reacting with each other and result in the formation of copper(I) sulfide.

Therefore, we can conclude that there is a ratio of 2:1 applies to the number of reactant atoms that enter into the reaction.
