Reaction

Cu(NO₃)₂ (aq) + Na₂S (aq) ⇒ 2 NaNO₃ (aq) + CuS (s)

mol Cu(NO₃)₂ :(MW 187,56 g/mol)

[tex]\tt \dfrac{469}{187.56}=2.5[/tex]

mol Na₂S :(MW 78,0452 g/mol)

[tex]\tt \dfrac{156}{78.0452}=2[/tex]

 Limiting reactant⇒Na₂S( 2 < 2.5)

mol of NaNO₃ (MW = 84,9947 g/mol)

[tex]\tt 2\times 2=4[/tex]

mass  NaNO₃ (theoretical)

[tex]\tt 4\times 84.9947=339.979~g[/tex]

  • yield

[tex]\tt \dfrac{272}{339.979}=0.8\rightarrow=80\%[/tex]
