reactions.
Concept: Percentage Yield in Sequential Reactions.
Solution:
The process involves three sequential steps where the product of one reaction is the reactant
for the next. To find the final amount of Zinc (Zn), we must account for the efficiency
(percentage yield) of each individual step.
Step 1: ZnS → ZnO (Yield = 80%)
Moles of ZnO = 3.125 × 0.80 = 2.5 moles
Step 2: ZnO → ZnSO4​ (Yield = 100%)
Moles of ZnSO4​ = 2.5×1.00 = 2.5 moles
Step 3: ZnSO4 → Zn (Yield = 80%)
Moles of Zn = 2.5 × 0.80 = 2 moles
