Answer:

B

Explanation:

The debris of marine organisms such as corals, shells, and algae accumulate in the bottom of marine waters and accumulate with sediments. This debris is made up of calcium carbonate and over time the pressure and temperatures after sedimentation layers result to formation of limestone that transforms the calcium carbonate to the form of calcite.

In one experiment, the reaction of 1.00 g mercury and an excess of sulfur yielded 1.16 g of a sulfide of mercury as the sole pro
Ksju [112]

Based on experiment 1:

Mass of Hg = 1.00 g

Mass of sulfide = 1.16 g

Mass of sulfur = 1.16 - 1.00 = 0.16 g

# moles of Hg = 1 g/200 gmol-1 = 0.005 moles

# moles of S = 0.16/32 gmol-1 = 0.005 moles

The Hg:S ratio is 1:1, hence the sulfide is HgS

Based on experiment 2:

Mass of Hg taken = 1.56 g

# moles of Hg = 1.56/200 = 0.0078

Mass of S taken = 1.02 g

# moles of S = 1.02/32 = 0.0319

Hence the limiting reagent is Hg

# moles of Hg reacted = # moles of HgS formed = 0.0078 moles

Molar mass of HgS = 232 g/mol

Therefore, mass of HgS formed = 0.0078 * 232 = 1.809 g = 1.81 g
