chemical formula of
zinc Sulphide + oxygen= zinc oxide+Sulphur dioxide
Answers
Answer:
ZNSO4+O2--ZnO+SO2 HOPE IT WORKS
Balanced equation for formation of zinc and sulfur dioxide due to reaction of zinc sulfide and oxygen.
Explanation:
In the given reaction, the reactant are zinc sulfide (Zns) and Oxygen whereas the products are zinc oxide (ZnO) and sulfur dioxide.
The chemical equation involved in this reaction is as follows:
ZnS+O_2\rightarrow ZnO+SO_2
An equation is considered to be balanced only when it has the atoms involved in reaction in both the reactant part as well as the product part are same.
When the above-given equation is examined, on the reactant side it has 1 atom of Zn, 1 atom of S and 2 atoms of O whereas on the product side it has 1 atom of Zn, 1 atom of S and 3 atoms of O.
As the values of oxygen are not the same in both side, the above given reaction is not balanced.
Thus to make it balanced, some changes as shown in the following balanced equation is done
2ZnS+3O_2\rightarrow 2ZnO+2SO_2
When the above equation is examined, on the reactant side it has 2 atoms of Zn, 2 atoms of S and 6 atoms of O, whereas on the product side it has atoms of Zn, 2 atoms of S and 6 atoms of O.
As both side are equal the balanced chemical equation for the reaction given is
2ZnS+3O_2\rightarrow 2ZnO+2SO_2
