there has to be the same amount of each element on both sides of the equation

<u>ZnS+</u><u> O</u><u>               =>        Zn</u><u>O </u><u>+ S</u><u>O</u>
1 Zn, 1 S, 1O               1 Zn, 1 S, 2O

ZnS + 2O => ZnO + SO

<span>ZnS + O --> ZnO + SO

Okay so first you have to count up the number of elements on each side of the equation. Your objective is to have the same number of each element on both sides.

Left Side:
Zn - 1
S - 1
O - 1

Right Side:
Zn - 1
S - 1
O - 2

Since there are two oxygens on the right side, you have to add a coefficient of 2 to the oxygen on the left side. The coefficient tells us that that element or molecule is being multiplied by the value of coefficient. Since we're adding a coefficient of 2 to the oxygen on the left side, there are now 2 oxygens on that side. Because that is the same amount of oxygen as on the right, the equation is now balanced.

Your final equation should look like this: </span>ZnS + 2O --> ZnO + SO

In conclusion, the answer is 2.

What is the role of gravity in the solar system functions. Why don’t the planets fly off into space? Why don't the planets ram i
antiseptic1488 [7]

Explanation:

I haven't studied this in quite a long time but I will try my best to answer your question.

Gravity is a force that pulls things towards it and everything has gravity. The larger an object the stronger it's force of gravity and the more it pulls objects towards it. In our solar system the Sun is the largest object (by far) and therefore has the highest gravity. This means that the planets orbit the sun since the gravity of the sun is pulling the planets towards it. This stops planets from flying to outer space.

The thing that stops the planets from crashing into the sun is that they are travelling too fast. The planets are trying to travel in a straight direction, but the gravity and their speed in another direction kind of counteract and create a "medium" I guess you could call it, meaning the planet just orbits the sun.

Orbitals which are equal in energy are referred to as ________.
mash [69]

Degenerate Orbitals

~ Meaning ~

Electron orbitals that have the same energy levels are called degenerate orbitals. When assigning electrons to orbitals in determining electron configurations, the Aufbau principle states that lower energy orbitals are filled before higher energy orbitals.

What determines the color of a translucent object?<br> Please help due November 4.
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: Color is a property of light that depends on wavelength. The color of a transparent object is determined by the wavelength of the light transmitted by it. An opaque object that reflects all wavelengths appears white; one that absorbs all wavelengths appears black.
