Answer: A) 3.21 g
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side.
We are given:
Mass of iron = 5.58 g
Mass of iron sulphide = 8.79 g
Mass of sulphur = x g
Total mass on reactant side = 5.58 + x
Total mass on product side = 8.79 g
Applying law of conservation of mass, we get:
Hence, the mass of reacting sulfur is 3.21 g.
Answer:
B) 16 g
Explanation:
- 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O
First we <u>convert 4 moles of O₂ into moles of H₂</u>, using the <em>stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced reaction</em>:
- 4 mol O₂ *
= 8 mol H₂
Finally we <u>convert 8 moles of H₂ into grams</u>, using <em>its molar mass</em>:
- 8 mol H₂ * 2 g/mol = 16 g
Thus, the correct answer is option B).
