The reaction between boron sulfide and carbon is given as:
2B2S3 + 3C → 4B + 3CS2
As per the law of conservation of mass, for any chemical reaction the total mass of reactants must be equal to the total mass of the products.
Given data:
Mass of C = 2.1 * 10^ 4 g
Mass of B = 3.11*10^4 g
Mass of CS2 = 1.47*10^5
Mass of B2S3 = ?
Now based on the law of conservation of mass:
Mass of B2S3 + mass C = mass of B + mass of CS2
Mass of B2S3 + 2.1 * 10^ 4 = 3.11*10^4 + 1.47*10^5
Mass of B2S3 = 15.7 * 10^4 g
