2CuS + 2O2 --> 2CuO + 2CO2
No, not balanced, you have no S on the right and you have 4 O atoms left and 6 O atoms on the right
I believe your original equation is a typo even before the balancing.
im a little confuse on this problem.
"in the production of copper from ore containing copper(II) sulfide, the ore is first roasted to change it to the oxide according to the following equation: 2CuS + 2O2 --> 2CuO + 2CO2 [i already balanced it]
A. If 100 g of CuS and 56 g of O2 are available, which reactant is limiting?
B. Which reactant is in excess, and how many grams remain after the reaction is completed?
if you could tell me how you do it would be realllly helpful as well.
Thank you!
