What mass of boron sulfide must be processed with 2.1 x 10 4g of carbon to yield 3.11 x 10 4 g of boron and 1.47 x 10 5 g of carbon sulfide ?

The reaction between boron sulfide and carbon is given as:

2B2S3 + 3C → 4B + 3CS2

As per the law of conservation of mass, for any chemical reaction the total mass of reactants must be equal to the total mass of the products.

Given data:

Mass of C = 2.1 * 10^ 4 g

Mass of B = 3.11*10^4 g

Mass of CS2 = 1.47*10^5

Mass of B2S3 = ?

Now based on the law of conservation of mass:

Mass of B2S3 + mass C = mass of B + mass of CS2

Mass of B2S3 + 2.1 * 10^ 4 = 3.11*10^4 + 1.47*10^5

Mass of B2S3 = 15.7 * 10^4 g

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.
