The reaction between mercury (Hg) and sulfur (S) to form HgS is:
Hg + S ------------- HgS
Therefore: 1 mole of Hg reacts with 1 mole of S to form 1 mole of HgS
The given mass of Hg = 246 g
Atomic mass of Hg = 200.59 g/mol
# moles of Hg = 246 g/ 200.59 gmol-1 = 1.226 moles
Based on the reaction stoichiometry,
# moles of S that would react = 1.226 moles
Atomic mass of S = 32 g/mol
Therefore, mass of S = 1.226 moles*32 g/mole = 39.23 g
39.2 g of sulfur would be needed to react completely with 246 g of Hg to produce HgS
Answer:
when the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal
Explanation:
In a chemical system, the reaction reaches a dynamic equilibrium when the rate of formation of product equals the rate of formation of reactants. This implies that both the forward and revered(backwards) reaction are occurring at the same rate.
Answer:
Beryllium, because it is in period 2 and has four total electrons.
Explanation:
There's no reason, it's just because the sun has a gravitational pull
