A 9.56 sample of CuS is found to contain 6.35 g of copper what is the percent by mass of the copy and sulfur in this compound? (show your work)

%Cu = 66.4%

%S = 33.6%

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Step 2: Calculate the mass of S

The mass of CuS is equal to the sum of the masses of Cu and S.

mCuS = mCu + mS

mS = mCuS - mCu

mS = 9.56 g - 6.35 g = 3.21 g

Step 3: Calculate the percent by mass of each element

We will use the following expression.

%Element = mElement / mCompound × 100%

%Cu = mCu / mCuS × 100% = 6.35 g / 9.56 g × 100% = 66.4%

%S = mS / mCuS × 100% = 3.21 g / 9.56 g × 100% = 33.6%

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.

the correct answer would be d. hope this !
