Chapter 3, Problem 110P

(choose chapter or problem)

When powdered zinc is heated with sulfur, a violent reaction occurs, and zinc sulfide forms:

\(\mathrm{Zn}(\mathrm{s}) \mathrm{S}_{8}(\mathrm{~s}) \mathrm{ZnS}(\mathrm{s})\) [unbalanced]

Some of the reactants also combine with oxygen in air to form zinc oxide and sulfur dioxide. When \(83.2 g\) of Zn reacts with \(52.4 g\) of S8, 104.4 g of ZnS forms. What is the percent yield of ZnS? (b) If all the remaining reactants combine with oxygen, how many grams of each of the two oxides form?

Equation Transcription:

Zn(s)  S8(s) ZnS(s)

Zn(s)  S_8(s) ZnS(s)

83.2 g

52.4 g
