To form hydrogen sulfide, H₂S, 4.03 g of molecular hydrogen (H₂)are reacted with 62.13 g of sulfur (S). If all of the hydrogen and sulfur completely react to form hydrogen sulfide, how many grams of hydrogen sulfide should be formed?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is: H₂ + S → H₂S. The molar mass of H₂ is 2.02 g/mol and S is 32.07 g/mol. The molar mass of H₂S is 34.09 g/mol. Using stoichiometry, 4.03 g H₂ (2.02 g/mol) reacts with 62.13 g S (32.07 g/mol) to form 66.16 g H₂S (34.09 g/mol).
