2HCl(aq) + ZnS(s) ⇒ ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂S(g)
<h3>Further explanation </h3>
Equalization of chemical reactions can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:
- 1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c, etc.
- 2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index (subscript) between reactant and product
- 3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1
Reaction
HCl(aq) + ZnS(s) ⇒ ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂S(g)
1. give equation
aHCl(aq) + bZnS(s) ⇒ ZnCl₂(aq) + cH₂S(g)
2. make an equation
H, left=a, right=2c⇒a=2c(eq 1)
Cl, left=a, right=2⇒a=2⇒c=1(from eq 1)
Zn, left=b, right=1⇒b=1
So the equation :
2HCl(aq) + ZnS(s) ⇒ ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂S(g)
Explanation: For solid or cold objects, (like ice), the particles are close together and not moving. For liquids, (like water), the particles are moving freely and limited energy depending on if it is warm or not. For gas, the particles are way spread out, and moving fast.
.22M because u convert 100g to mols which is around .56mol then divide by 2.5
