The equation given in question is as follow,

                                  ZnS + NO₃⁻    →    Zn²⁺ + S + NO

Oxidation state of elements in reactant side are as follow,
                                      Zn  =  +2
                                      S    =  -2
                                      N    =  +5
                                      O   =  -2
Oxidation state of elements in product side are as follow,
                                      Zn  =  +2
                                      S    =  0
                                      N    =  +2
                                      O   =  -2
So, In this reaction Nitrogen is Reduced while Sulfur is Oxidized.

Now Split the reaction into two half cell reactions,

Reduction Reaction,
                                ZnS     →     S  +  2e⁻
Oxidation Reaction,
                               NO₃⁻  +  3e⁻   →     NO

As the oxygen atoms are not balance, So, in acidic medium add H⁺ on the side having greater number of Oxygen atom and H₂O on the side having less number of Oxygen atoms,
Hence,
                                 H⁺  +   NO₃⁻  + 3e⁻    →     NO  +  H₂O
Now Balance the reaction,

                                 4H⁺  +   NO₃⁻  + 3e⁻    →     NO  +  2H₂O

So, write both half cell equations as,
 
                                             ZnS     →     S  +  2e⁻   --------- (1)
                               4H⁺  +   NO₃⁻  + 3e⁻    →     NO  +  2H₂O  -------(2)

Multiply eq. 1 with 3 and eq. 2 with 2 to equalize the electron.
So,
                                         3ZnS     →     3S  +  6e⁻   

                       8H⁺  +   2NO₃⁻  + 6e⁻    →     2NO  +  4H₂O 
                     _____________________________________(e⁻ cancelled)

                            3ZnS + 2NO₃⁻ + 8H⁺   → 3Zn + 3S + 2NO + 4H₂O

A particle that orbits the nucleus in an atom is called a(n)
MrMuchimi

Answer:

The correct answer is electrons.

Explanation:

The electrons refer to the negatively charged constituents, which are arranged in the orbits around the nucleus of an atom. It determines all the chemical and physical characteristics of an atom except the radioactivity and mass.  It is a stable subatomic particle witnessed in all the atoms and functioning as the chief carrier of electricity in solids.

How many moles of H2 can be made from complete reaction of 3.0 moles of Al?
tresset_1 [31]

Answer: 4.5 moles of H_{2} can be made from complete reaction of 3.0 moles of Al.

Explanation:

The given reaction equation is as follows.

2Al + 6HCl \rightarrow 2AlCl_{3} + 3H_{2}

This shows that 2 moles of Al reacts with 6 moles of HCl. So, the amount of HCl required to react with 1 mole Al is three times the amount of HCl.

Therefore, 3 moles of Al will react with 9 moles of HCl to give 3 moles of AlCl_{3} and \frac{9}{2} moles of H_{2}.

The reaction equation now will be as follows.

3Al + 9HCl \rightarrow 3AlCl_{3} + \frac{9}{2}H_{2}

The moles \frac{9}{2} can also be written as 4.5 moles.

Thus, we can conclude that 4.5 moles of H_{2} can be made from complete reaction of 3.0 moles of Al.
