In scientific notation, a number is less than ten but more than one.
Move the decimal point from 0, 250.000 <- this is the same as 250 to between 2 and 5.
I had to move two spaces.
2.5^2
I hope this helps!

Based on Le Chatelier's principle, if the equilibrium of a system is disturbed by changing the temperature, pressure or concentration, then it will shift in a direction to undo the effect of the induced change.
The given equilibrium is:
A + B ↔ AB
Removal of the reactant A implies that the concentration of A has decreased, therefore the equilibrium will shift in a direction to produce more of A. Thus, it will shift to the left and the rate of the reverse or backward reaction will increase.
The reaction between mercury (Hg) and sulfur (S) to form HgS is:
Hg + S ------------- HgS
Therefore: 1 mole of Hg reacts with 1 mole of S to form 1 mole of HgS
The given mass of Hg = 246 g
Atomic mass of Hg = 200.59 g/mol
# moles of Hg = 246 g/ 200.59 gmol-1 = 1.226 moles
Based on the reaction stoichiometry,
# moles of S that would react = 1.226 moles
Atomic mass of S = 32 g/mol
Therefore, mass of S = 1.226 moles*32 g/mole = 39.23 g
39.2 g of sulfur would be needed to react completely with 246 g of Hg to produce HgS
