ch sulfide (ZnS) occurs in the zinc blende crystal structure, (a) If 254 g of ZnS contains 170 g of Zn, what is the mass ratio o
1 answer:
Answer:
The mass ratio of zinc to sulfide is 85:42.
2.5559 kg of Zn are in 3.82 kg of ZnS.
Explanation:
a) Mass of zinc sulfide = 254 g
Mass of zinc in a zinc sulfide sample = 170 g
Mass of sulfide in zinc sulfide sample = x
254 g = 170 g+ x
x = 84 g
The mass ratio of zinc to sulfide:
b) Mass of zincsulfide sample = 3.83 kg
The mass ratio of zinc to sulfide is 85:42.
Let the mass of zinc and sulfide be 85x and 42x respectively:
85 x+ 42 x=3.82 kg
x =0.03007 kg
Mass of an zinc= 85x=85 × 0.03007 kg= 2.5559 kg

Answer:
1) Fe = 69.9%
O = 31.1%
2) H = 5.19%
O = 16.5%
N = 28.9%
C = 49.5%
Explanation:
One easy way to do percent compositions is to assume you have 100g of a substance.
1) Lets say we have 100g of Fe2O3.
The total molar mass would be:
The molar mass of the Fe2 alone is:
Thus, the grams of Fe2(out of a 100) could be calculated by multiplying 100g * the molar mass ratio of Fe2 to the whole:
Which is approximately 69.9%.
We can find the amount of O3 by simply subtracting, as the rest of the compound is made of O3. Thus, the % composition of O3 is 31.1%
You can then do this same process to the next question, getting us the following:
H = 5.19%
O = 16.5%
N = 28.9%
C = 49.5%
