Question

Heating zine sulfide in air causes the formation of

(A)Zn and S.

(B)Zn and SO2

(C)ZnO and S

(D)ZnO and SO2

(E)Zn and SO3

could you explain why you got that answer?

Answer 1

When ZnS is heated in an excess of air, SO₂ is produced. 

This is the balanced equation.

2ZnS(s) + 3O₂(g) → 2ZnO(s) + 2SO₂(g)
