Answer: A) 3.21 g

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side.

Fe+S\rightarrow FeS

We are given:

Mass of iron = 5.58 g

Mass of iron sulphide = 8.79 g

Mass of sulphur = x g

Total mass on reactant side = 5.58 + x

Total mass on product side = 8.79 g

Applying law of conservation of mass, we get:

5.58+x=8.79\\\\x=3.21g

Hence, the mass of reacting sulfur is 3.21 g.

Sulfur burns in the air to form 33.6L of sulfur dioxide. (S = 32, O =16, 64g of sulfur dioxide has 22.4L, 32g of oxygen has 22.4
ivolga24 [154]

The mass of oxygen reacted/required in this reaction is obtained as 48g.

<h3>What is stoichiometry?</h3>

The term stoichiometry has to do with mass- volume or mass - mole relationship which ultimately depends on the balanced reaction equation.

Now, we have the reaction; S + O2 ------>SO2

If 1 mole of sulfur dioxide contains 22.4 L

x moles of sulfur dioxide contains 33.6L

x = 1.5 moles of sulfur dioxide.

Since the reaction is 1:1, the number if moles of oxygen required/reacted is 1.5 moles.

Mass of oxygen required/reacted = 1.5 moles * 32 g/mol = 48g

Enter an equation to show how h2po3− can act as a base with hs− acting as an acid. Express your answer as a chemical equation. I
vladimir2022 [97]

The acid - base equation between H2PO3^- and HS^- is H2PO3^- +  HS^- ⇄S^- + H3PO3.

<h3>What is an acid?</h3>

An acid is a substance that can donate hydrogen ions while a base is a substance that can accept hydrogen ion. This is the acid base definition according to Brownstead - Lowry.

To show the acid - base relationship between H2PO3^- and HS^-, we have the equation;

H2PO3^- +  HS^- ⇄S^- + H3PO3

Describe the difference beetween an extensive and intesive property
olasank [31]

Extensive properties, such as mass and volume, depend on the amount of matter being measured. Intensive properties, such as density and color, do not depend on the amount of the substance present. Physical properties can be measured without changing a substance's chemical identity.
