<span>To solve this we need to balance the equations first.
 So Hg + S --> HgS is balanced
 One mole of Hg requires one mole of S to form one mole of HgS.
 Number of moles of Sulphur = mass/ molar mass = 157/32 = 4.906
So 4.90 moles of S reacts with 4.90 moles of Hg.
Hence there are 4.90 moles of 4.90 of Hg.
 Mass = number of moles * molar mass of Hg
Mass = 4.906 * 200.59 = 982.891g</span>

Answer:

983 g

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

Hg + S → HgS

The molar mass of S is 32.07 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 157 g are:

157 g × (1 mol/32.07 g) = 4.90 mol

The molar ratio of Hg to S is 1:1. The moles of Hg that react are 4.90 moles.

The molar mass of Hg is 200.59 g/mol. The mass corresponding to 4.90 moles is:

4.90 mol × (200.59 g/mol) = 983 g
