Question: | 0.6 Potassium (K) + 2 Sulfur (S) + 6 Manganese (Mn) |
Solution: | K₂S + 3MnS |
Chemical Equation: | 6K + 2S + 6Mn → K₂S + 3MnS |
Explanation: | This reaction involves the formation of two different sulfides. Potassium (K) is more reactive than Manganese (Mn), so it will preferentially react with Sulfur (S) to form Potassium sulfide (K₂S) K⁺ + S⁻² → K₂S. The remaining Manganese (Mn) will then react with the remaining Sulfur (S) to form Manganese(II) sulfide (MnS). Mn²⁺ + S⁻² → MnS. Balancing the equation ensures equal numbers of atoms on both sides ⚖️. The reaction is exothermic and would likely produce heat 🔥. |
