<span>Balance the equation
    8Zn + S8 -----> 8ZnS
    work out how much ZnS is possible if all of each reagent were to react. The reagent that produces the least product is the limiting reagent.
    moles Zn = mass / molar mass = 4.88 g / 65.38 g/mol = 0.07464 moles
  8 moles Zn reacts to form 8 moles ZnS
  Therefore moles ZnS possible = moles Zn = 0.07464 moles

    moles S8 = 5.03 g / 256.48 g/mol = 0.01961 mol
  1 mole S8 reacts to form 8 moles ZnS
  Therefore moles ZnS possible = 8 x moles S8 = 0.1569 mol

    The amount of Zn provided gives the least ZnS, therefore Zn is the limiting reagent.
    The theoretical yield is the maximum possible yield possible from the reagents provided. It is the amount of product that will form if all the limiting reagent reacts.
  So in this case 4.88 g Zn yields 0.07464 mol ZnS

    theoretical mass ZnS = molar mass x moles
  = 97.44 g/mol x 0.07464 mol
  = 7.27 g

    % yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100/1
  = 6.02 g / 7.27 g x 100/1
  = 82.8 %</span>

What is the total mass of solute in 1000. grams of a solution having a concentration of 5 parts per million?
Art [367]

50 grams or 50,000 mili grams  is the mass of solute in 1000 grams of a solution having a concentration of 5 parts per million.

Explanation:

Total mass of solution = 1000 grams or 1000 ml since 1 gram = 1 ml

concentration is 5 parts per million ( 5 mg in 1000 ml solution or 0.005 gram in 1000 ml)

the formula used for parts per million:

parts per million = \frac{mass of solute (mg)}{volume of solution}

putting the values in the equation:

parts per million = \frac{mass of solute}{volume of solvent}

0.005 x 1000 = mass of solute

50 grams= mass of solute

converting this into mg

50,000 mg. is the total mass of solute in 5ppm of 1000 ml solution.

Is the gravity a black hole strong enough to keep light from escaping True or False
puteri [66]

Answer:

The gravitational pull of a black hole is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape once it gets too close. ... Moving at close to the speed of light, these particles ricochet off the event horizon and get hurled outward along the black hole's axis of rotation

(True)

Convert 23.92inHg to Pa.
andriy [413]

Answer:

3189.07Pa

Explanation:

The conversion of 23.92mmH to Pa can be achieved in the following way:

760mmHg = 101325Pa

23.92mmHg = (23.92x101325)/760 = 3189.07Pa

How many daltons is in an ion with 15 protons, 16 neutrons and 17 electrons?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
31  
A dalton is the same as an atomic mass unit. And an atomic mass unit is approximately the mass of a nucleon (proton or neutron) such that the mass is 1 g/mol. So in this problem you have 15 protons and 16 neutrons, so the number of daltons is 15 + 16 = 31.
