Directions: Use the equations below to answer the following questions.
Zn(s) + S(s)→ZnS(s )
1. What are the reactants in this chemical reaction?
Zn, S
3. What is the physical state of both the reactants and the products?
Solid
4. According to the law of conservation of mass, if the total mass of the product in this chemical
reaction is 14 g, what must the combined masses of the reactants be?
14g
9. What do the coefficients tell you about the ratio of the reactants?
Th number of units of that substance
11. One unit of methane gas (CH4) plus two units of oxygen gas (O2) produce one unit of carbon
dioxide gas (CO2) and two units of liquid water.
H4 + 2O2 — Co2 + 2H2O
12. One unit of aqueous aluminum sulfate (Al2SO4) plus three units of aqueous barium chloride
(BaCl2) yield two units of aqueous aluminum chloride (AlCl2) plus three units of solid barium
sulfate (BaSO4).
Al-2(SO-4)-3 + 3 BACl-2 = 2AlCl-3 + 3Ba (SQ-4)
13. Two units of solid sodium (Na) plus one unit of chlorine gas (Cl2) produce two units of sodium
chloride (NaCl), a solid.
2Na + Cl-2 = 2NaCl
