Answer to Question #134124 in General Chemistry for Nielle

Question

Given this unbalanced (Check) reaction, how many moles of Chromium (III) Sulfide will you have if you react 10.0 grams of Chromium (III) Oxide with excess Hydrogen Sulfide? Follow Significant Figures

Cr2O3 + 3H2S -> Cr2S3 + 3H2O

Answer 1

$$n(Cr_2O_3) = n(Cr_2S_3)$$

$$n(Cr_2O_3) = {m(Cr_2O_3) \over M(Cr_2O_3)}$$

$$n(Cr_2O_3) = {10.0g \over 151.99g/mol} = 0.066 mol$$

$$m(Cr_2S_3) = n(Cr_2S_3)*M(Cr_2S_3)$$

$$m(Cr_2S_3) = 0.066mol*200.19g/mol = 13.2 g$$

Answer: 13.2 g
