<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>

Wet snow is best for snow man building<br>​
fredd [130]

Answer:

<h2>Hope my answer helps</h2>

Explanation:

<h2>Moist to wet snow is the ideal moisture content needed to build the best snowman. If the snow is too dry, it is comparable to loose powder and in turn, the snow won't stick together. On the other hand, if the snow has too much moisture and is slushy, it can't form into a solid.</h2>

jek_recluse [69]

Answer: D. Mutation in coding sequences are more likely to be deleterious to the organism than mutations in noncoding sequences.

Explanation: It was not likely to be that the coding sequences are replicated more often. The only possible explanation is that the mutations in coding is more likely to be deleterious to the organism than mutations because it is in a non coding sequence.

What is the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy?
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is the energy that an object has because of its motion. The molecules in a substance have a range of kinetic energies because they don't all move at the same speed. As a substance absorbs heat the particles move faster so the average kinetic energy and therefore the temperature increases.
