Question

If the amount of copper is 6g and whole ratio to obtain copper sulfide is 4:1. How much sulfur is required for the reaction to obtain carbon sulfide? And how do I calculate that?

Answer 1

1.5g

Step-by-step explanation:

According to this question, the amount of copper required to obtain copper sulfide in a 4:1 is 6g. This means that the ratio of copper to sulfur in the compound (copper sulfide) is 4:1.

Hence, to calculate the amount of sulfur required for the reaction to obtain copper sulfide using the above ratio, we say:

1/4 of the amount of copper required (6g)

= 1/4 × 6

= 6/4

= 1.5g of sulfur is required for the reaction to obtain carbon sulfide.
