No, copper sulfide (CuS) is a compound, an insoluble salt made of Cu2+ cations and S2- anions.
There are many minerals made of a combination of sulfur and a metal. Common ones include - Pyrite - FeS2 (Iron sulphide) Galena - PbS (Lead sulphide) Sphalerite - ZnS (Zinc sulphide) Chalcopyrite - CuFeS2 (Copper Iron Sulphide) Covellite - CuS (Copper Sulphide)
You get copper sulphide, because a metal and a non-metal are reacting.
Copper and Sulphur ONLY. Copper sulphide has the formula ' CuS'.
yes
The chemical equation for smelting copper sulphide is: Cu2S (copper sulphide) + O2 (oxygen) → 2Cu (copper) + SO2 (sulfur dioxide). This reaction is typically carried out in a furnace at high temperatures.
No, it's a salt.
The chemical formula for copper(I) sulfide is Cu2S.
Copper sulphide
Copper is obtained from its sulfide ore by smelting, where the copper sulfide is heated in the presence of oxygen, producing copper metal and sulfur dioxide gas. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is: 2Cu2S + 3O2 -> 2Cu + 2SO2
copper + sulphur = copper sulphide! it's been a while since I've done chemestry, so bear with me. the reaction works out as CuS + O2 = Cu + SO2 , if i read your word equation correctly, which would make the reactants copper sulphide and oxygen.
Copper Sulphate CuSO4Since the question did not include Oxygen, the answer is Copper Sulphide (CuxSx)If you have only Copper and Sulphur reacting the product is Copper Sulphide (CuS), not Copper Sulphate (CuSO4).Copper Sulphide is made when Copper and Sulphur are heated together - the product is a black solid.Copper Sulphate is produced when Copper is reacted either with sulphuric acid, or with a less reactive metal sulphate. Copper Sulphate is usually in the form of a blue solution but can be evaporated to produce a blue crystalline structure.
The chemical formula for copper(I) sulfide is Cu2S.
