Answer:
The mass of reactants and products are equal hence the reaction obeys law of conservation of mass
Explanation:
The law of mass conservation states that for a closed system to all transfer of mass, the mass of system must remain constant over time. This means for a chemical reaction, the mass of reactants must equal the mass of products.
if 2.796g of Zn reacts with 2.414g of sulphur to produce 4.169g of ZnS ad 1.041g of unreacted sulphur, then it means that accorfing to the law of mass conservation, the mass of reactants (zinc and sulphur), must be equal to mass of products (zinc sulfide and unreacted sulphur)
Mass of reactants = 2.796g + 2.414g =5.21g
Mass of products = 4.169g + 1.041g=5.21g
Answer:
a compound is a syllable in the outer world
Explanation:
Answer:
ZnS(s) ⇄ S²⁻(aq) + Zn²⁺(aq)
Explanation:
First, we will write the molecular equation, since it is easier to balance.
2 HBr(aq) + ZnS(s) ⇄ H₂S(aq) + ZnBr₂(aq)
In the full ionic equation we include all ions and molecular species.
2 H⁺(aq) + 2 Br⁻(aq) + ZnS(s) ⇄ 2 H⁺(aq) + S²⁻(aq) + Zn²⁺(aq) + 2 Br⁻(aq)
In the net ionic equation we include only the ions that participate in the reaction and the molecular species.
ZnS(s) ⇄ S²⁻(aq) + Zn²⁺(aq)
