A solar cell can be constructed by depositing copper(II) sulfide from an aqueous solution directly onto certain n-type silicon semiconductors. The precipitation of CuS may be represented by the following unbalanced equation: In one experiment, a 22.2 mm by 15.5 mm solar cell was prepared using 6.00 mL of 0.105 M thioacetamide and 2.00 mL of 0.101 M copper(II) acetate (the source of the Cu^2+ ions). a.
