Explain the law that the scientists use to predict that the product of the reaction would be 15.9 g of copper sulfide

1 answer

The law that scientists use to predict the product of the reaction is the Law of Conservation of Mass. This law states that the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products. In this case, the reactants are copper and sulfur, and the product is copper sulfide. The mass of the reactants is equal to the mass of the product, so the predicted mass of the product is 15.9 g of copper sulfide.
