Procedure
 

F_{CuO,t}=e^{-k't}

Where \(F_{CuO,t}\) is the remaining fraction of \(CuO\) at time \(t\) of the reaction of \(CuO\) with \(HS^{-}\), \(k\) is the Pseudo first-order reaction rate coefficient and \(t\) is the time. Pseudo first-order reaction rate coefficient \(k\) is defined as:

k = 6.4 \text{ mM}^{-1} \text{min}^{-1}

k' = k \cdot [HS^-]
