4Ga + 3S2 ⇒ 2Ga2S3 How many grams of Gallium Sulfide would form if 20.5 moles of Gallium burned?

2415.9g (corrected to 1 d.p.)

Explanation:

(Take the atomic mass of Ga=69.7 and S=32.1)

Assuming Ga is the limiting reagent (because the question did not mention the amount of sulphur burnt),

From the balanced equation, the mole ratio of Ga:Ga2S3 = 4: 2 = 2: 1, which means, every 2 moles of Ga burnt, 1 mole of Ga2S3 is produced.

Using this ratio, let y be the no. of moles of Ga2S3 produced,

y = 20.5 / 2

= 10.25 mol

Since mass = no. of moles x molar mass,

the mass of Ga2S3 produced = 10.25 x (69.7x2 + 32.1x3)

= 2415.9g (corrected to 1 d.p.)

the correct answer would be b. amelia, because the particals of gas move really fast (charged particals) and gas also has a lot of room (particals move independently) so the only answer that has both of those is amelia's.
