The atom that would gain two electrons to fill its valence energy level is S(sulfur)
This is because s (sulfur) is in atomic number 16 with 2.8.6 of [Ne] 3s^2 2p^4 electronic configuration. This implies that sulfur has 6 valence electron and therefore it require two electron to fill its valence energy level and obtain 18 rule electrons.
Answer:..A.) Each chlorine atom shares a pair of electrons with the sulfur atom
I think it's D, because theoretical yield is like, the yield you'd get if 100% of the reactants formed to make product. Well that's how I think of it, but it has something to do with limiting reagents and stuff. Sorry this isn't a really detailed explanation.
The reaction between Na2S and CuSO4 will give us the balanced chemical reaction of,
Na2S + CUSO4 --> Na2SO4 + CuS
This means that for every 78g of Na2S, there needs to be 159.6 g of CuSO4. The ratio is equal to 0.4887 of Na2S: 1 of CuSO4. Thus, for every 12.1g of CuSO4, we need only 5.91 g of Na2S. Thus, there is an excess of 9.58 g of Na2S. The answer is letter C.
