<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>

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

endothermic reaction

Explanation:

It simply means that you are witnessing<u> an endothermic reaction</u>.

An endothermic reaction is one that absorbs heat energy from its surrounding, thereby leaving the reaction vessel with a lower temperature as compared to before the reaction.

It is as opposed to exothermic reactions which are reactions that give off energy in the form of heat to the surrounding, thereby leaving a reaction vessel warmer than before the reaction.

<em>In this case, the formation of ice crystals outside the test tube means that heat energy has been absorbed by the reaction which leaves the vessel a temperature cold enough to activate the formation of ice. </em>

How does a scientific theory differ from a guess or an opinion?​
natima [27]

Answer:

Scientific theory differs from a guess or opinion because a scientific theory is a system of ideas that explains many related observation and is supported by a large body of evidence acquired through scientific investigation while guesses and opinions may not reliably predict an outcome, have evidence to back up the theory

Which of the following could be the subsh
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

2s^2 2p^2

Explanation:

Group 4A contains a total of 4 electrons for each atom in their valence shell. Filling the orbital diagram, let's say, for carbon, notice that when we start with period 2, we have two elements in the s-block, that is, lithium and beryllium. They correspond to the two s electrons that belong to the valence shell of carbon.

Moving on, we have boron and carbon, the remaining 2 electrons. Now, starting with boron, we're in the p-block.

That said, looking at the second period, the electron configuration for the valence shell of a group 4A element would be:

2s^2 2p^2
