Question

Solid sodium and solid octasulfur (S8) react to form solid Na2S. What's the balanced chemical equation for this reaction? Question 7 options: 8Na (s) + 2S8 (s) → 8Na2S (s) 4Na (s) + S8 (s) → 8Na2S (s) 8Na (s) + S8 (s) → 4Na2S (s) 16Na (s) + S8 (s) → 8Na2S (s)

Answer 1

Answer:16Na (s) + S8 (s) → 8Na2S (s)

Explanation: All equations except the above mentioned are not balanced equations because the ratio of Na and S should be 2:1 and this ratio is only possible in the equation given above (as the right answer0
