<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>

How does the formal charge play a role in resonance?
Crank
In a Lewis structure, formal charges can be assigned to each atom by treating each bond as if one-half of the electrons are assigned to each atom. ... Resonance occurs in cases where two or more Lewis structures with identical arrangements of atoms but different distributions of electrons can be written.

If 9.6 X 1021 molecules of hydrogen are reacted with excess nitrogen, how many liters of ammonia can be produced at STP?
diamong [38]

The volume of NH₃ produced at STP : 0.237 L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Reaction

N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

1 mol = 6.02 x 10²³ particles

9.6 X 10²¹ molecules of Hydrogen, mol :

\tt \dfrac{9.61\times 10^{21}}{6.02\times 10^{23}}=1.596\times 10^{-2}~moles

mol H₂ : mol NH₃ = 3 : 2

mol NH₃ :

\tt \dfrac{2}{3}\times 1.596\times 10^{-2}=0.0106

Conditions at T 0 ° C and P 1 atm are stated by STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure). <em>At STP, Vm is 22.4 liters/mol.</em>

The volume of NH₃ :

\tt 0.0106\times 22.4=0.237~L

Which of the following statements best describes why the reaction between sodium and chlorine is not useful in fireworks? Please
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

A. a poisonous gas is one of the reactants

Explanation:

Chlorine gas is a poisonous and very toxic gas. Chlorine is a moderately reactive halogen. It is a greenish-yellow gas with choking and irritating smell. The gas is very poisonous. Proper care must be taken when working with this gas.

This is why chlorine gas are harmful in production of fireworks.
