  • Calculating the Mass of Potassium Sulfide: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the mass of 3.3 moles of potassium sulfide:

    1. Determine the molar mass of potassium sulfide (K₂S):

    * Potassium (K) has a molar mass of 39.10 g/mol.

    * Sulfur (S) has a molar mass of 32.06 g/mol.

    * Since potassium sulfide has two potassium atoms and one sulfur atom, its molar mass is:

    (2 * 39.10 g/mol) + (1 * 32.06 g/mol) = 110.26 g/mol

    2. Use the formula: mass = moles * molar mass

    * mass = 3.3 moles * 110.26 g/mol

    * mass = 363.86 g

    Therefore, the mass of 3.3 moles of potassium sulfide is approximately 363.86 grams.
