Answer and Explanation:
Mercury combines with sulfur as follows -
Hg + S = HgS
Hg = 200,59
S = 32,066 Therefore 1.58 g of Hg will react with -
1.58 multiply with 32,066 divide by 200,96 of sulfur.
= 0.25211 g S
This will form 1.58 + 0.25211 g HgS = 1.83211 g HgS
The amount of S remaining = 1.10 - 0.25211 = 0.84789 g
