Question

Zinc metal is produced by heating solid zinc sulfide with solid wine witte resulting in liquid zinc and sulfur dioxide gas Write a balanced equation for the reaction using complete formulas for the compounds with phase labels (Use the lowest possible coefficients.

Answer 1

Answer:

The balance chemical equation can be given as:

$ZnS(s)+ZnSO_4(aq)\overset{heat}\rightarrow 2Zn(s)+2SO_2(g)$

Explanation:

When zinc sulfide is allowed to react with zinc sulfate it gives zinc metal and sulfur dioxide gas as a product.The balance chemical equation can be given as:

$ZnS(s)+ZnSO_4(aq)\overset{heat}\rightarrow 2Zn(s)+2SO_2(g)$

According to reaction we can see when 1 mol of zinc sulfide reacts with 1 mol of zinc sulfate it forms 2 moles of zinc metal and 2 moles of sulfur dioxide gas.
