JEE Main 2022 · 30 Jun · Shift 1, Chemistry question 81

Blister copper is produced by reaction of copper oxide with copper sulphide.

2Cu2O+Cu2S→6Cu+SO2\mathrm{2Cu_2O+Cu_2S\rightarrow6Cu+SO_2}

When 2.86×1032.86\times10^3 g of Cu2O\mathrm{Cu_2O} and 4.77×1034.77\times10^3 g of Cu2S\mathrm{Cu_2S} are used for reaction, the mass of copper produced is ______ g. (nearest integer)

(Atomic mass of Cu = 63.5 a.m.u, S = 32.0 a.m.u, O = 16.0 a.m.u)

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: 3810

Moles. Cu2O\mathrm{Cu_2O} 2860143=20\frac{2860}{143}=20, Cu2S\mathrm{Cu_2S} 4770159=30\frac{4770}{159}=30 (only 10 needed): Cu2O\mathrm{Cu_2O} limits.

Copper 60×63.5=381060\times63.5=3810 g.
