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 certain hydrocarbon has a molecular formula of C9H16. Which of the following is not a structural possibility for this hydrocar
snow_tiger [21]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is given that molecular formula is C_{9}H_{16}. Now, we will calculate the degree of unsaturation as follows.

Degree of unsaturation = C_{n} - \frac{\text{monovalent}}{2} + \frac{\text{trivalent}}{2} + 1

                                  = 9 - \frac{16}{2} + 1

                                  = 9 - 8 + 1

                                  = 2

As the degree of unsaturation comes out to be 2. It means that this compound will contain one ring and one double bond.

Yes, this compound could be an alkyne as for alkyne D.B.E = 2.

But this compound cannot be a cycloalkane because for a cycloalkane D.B.E = 1 which is due to the ring only.

Thus, we can conclude that it is a cycloalkane is not a structural possibility for this hydrocarbon.

At equilibrium, ________. At equilibrium, ________. all chemical reactions have ceased the rate constants of the forward and rev
balandron [24]

Answer:

<em>At equilibrium, the rate of the forward, and the reverse reactions are equal.</em>

Explanation:

In an equilibrium chemical reaction, the rate of forward reaction, is equal to the rate of reverse reaction. Note that the reactions does not cease at equilibrium, but rather, the reactants are converted to product, at the same rate at which the product is also being converted into the reactants in the reaction. When chemical equilibrium is reached, a careful calculation of the value of equilibrium constant is approximately equal to 1.

NB: If the value of equilibrium constant is far far greater than 1, then the reaction will favors more of the forward reaction, and if far far less than 1, the reaction will favor more of the reverse reaction.

The solubility of calcium sulfate at 30°c is 0.209 g/100 ml solution. calculate its ksp.
inessss [21]
Answer is: Ksp for calcium sulfate is 2.36·10⁻⁴.
Balanced chemical reaction (dissociation):
CaSO₄(s) → Ba²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq).
m(CaSO₄) = 0.209 g.
n(CaSO₄) = m(CaSO₄) ÷ M(CaSO₄).
n(CaSO₄) = 0.209 g ÷ 136.14 g/mol.
n(CaSO₄) = 0.00153 mol.
s(CaSO₄) = n(CaSO₄) ÷ V(CaSO₄).
s(CaSO₄) = 0.00153 mol ÷ 0.1 L = 0.0153 M.
Ksp = [Ca²⁺] · [SO₄²⁻].
[Ca²⁺] = [SO₄²⁻] = s(CaSO₄).
Ksp = (0.0153 M)² = 2.36·10⁻⁴.
