  1. Given reaction

2Cu2O+Cu2S→6Cu+SO22Cu_2O + Cu_2S \rightarrow 6Cu + SO_22Cu2​O+Cu2​S→6Cu+SO2​

We first calculate molar masses.

  1. Molar masses

For Cu2OCu_2OCu2​O:

M(Cu2O)=2(63.5)+16=127+16=143 g mol−1M(Cu_2O)=2(63.5)+16=127+16=143\,\text{g mol}^{-1}M(Cu2​O)=2(63.5)+16=127+16=143g mol−1

For Cu2SCu_2SCu2​S:

M(Cu2S)=2(63.5)+32=127+32=159 g mol−1M(Cu_2S)=2(63.5)+32=127+32=159\,\text{g mol}^{-1}M(Cu2​S)=2(63.5)+32=127+32=159g mol−1

  1. Moles of reactants

Mass of Cu2O=2.86×103=2860 gCu_2O = 2.86\times 10^3 = 2860\,\text{g}Cu2​O=2.86×103=2860g

n(Cu2O)=2860143=20 moln(Cu_2O)=\frac{2860}{143}=20\,\text{mol}n(Cu2​O)=1432860​=20mol

Mass of Cu2S=4.77×103=4770 gCu_2S = 4.77\times 10^3 = 4770\,\text{g}Cu2​S=4.77×103=4770g

n(Cu2S)=4770159=30 moln(Cu_2S)=\frac{4770}{159}=30\,\text{mol}n(Cu2​S)=1594770​=30mol

  1. Find the limiting reagent

From the balanced equation:

2 mol Cu2O react with 1 mol Cu2S2\,\text{mol } Cu_2O \text{ react with } 1\,\text{mol } Cu_2S2mol Cu2​O react with 1mol Cu2​S

For 202020 mol Cu2OCu_2OCu2​O, required Cu2SCu_2SCu2​S is:

202=10 mol\frac{20}{2}=10\,\text{mol}220​=10mol

Available Cu2S=30Cu_2S = 30Cu2​S=30 mol, so Cu2SCu_2SCu2​S is in excess.

Hence, Cu2OCu_2OCu2​O is the limiting reagent.

  1. Moles of copper produced

From the reaction:

2Cu2O→6Cu2Cu_2O \rightarrow 6Cu2Cu2​O→6Cu

So,

1 mol Cu2O→3 mol Cu1\,\text{mol } Cu_2O \rightarrow 3\,\text{mol } Cu1mol Cu2​O→3mol Cu

Therefore, from 202020 mol Cu2OCu_2OCu2​O:

n(Cu)=20×3=60 moln(Cu)=20\times 3=60\,\text{mol}n(Cu)=20×3=60mol

  1. Mass of copper produced

m(Cu)=60×63.5=3810 gm(Cu)=60\times 63.5=3810\,\text{g}m(Cu)=60×63.5=3810g

  1. Final answer

The mass of copper produced is:

3810 g\boxed{3810\,\text{g}}3810g​
