Detailed Solution

Let mass of Cu piece = 100 g 
2Cu  +    H2S         Cu2S  +  H2
32 g         –                     –                  –
3232=1  mol  –   –  –
–  –      12mol           12mol
                (12×158)g
Weight of Cu left + weight of  Cu2S formed = 68 + 40.12= 108.12  g
Increase in weight due to partial corrosion of Cu = 8.128
 % gain in weight of piece of Cu = 47
