A mixture contained zinc sulfide, ZnS, and lead sulfide, PbS. A sample of the mixture weighing 6.17 g was reacted with an excess of hydrochloric acid. The reactions are


ZnS(s) + 2HCl(aq) ==> ZnCl2(aq) + H2S(g)

PbS(s) + 2HCl(aq) ==> PbCl2(aq) + H2S(g)


If the sample reacted completely and produced 1.051 L of hydrogen sulfide, H2S, at 23oC and 745 mmHg, what were the percentages of ZnS and PbS in the mixture.

Someone at my work told me that 401K is guaranteed money but I always thought that it really depended on how well your investements were doing that determined your pay out at retirement. I told him that you are not guaranteed anything and you could actually loose money with a 401k if the market does very bad. This is true right, I think the misconception people have is that 401k is guaranteed money. I am not against it and I invest as much as I possibly can in it, but I wanted to make I was telling him the right thing. to me, 401K are more like potential supplments for retirement. Any help would be appreciated regarding 401K. Thank You

It is said that God works through natural law and that we cannot always understand natural law. Does that logic quiet doubts and promote faith?

part of me wants help, the other part doesnt want to at all and knows that if i do go to rehab or anything i would relapse again anyways.

I would go to rehab to at least try, but i'm fifteen, and my parents have no idea about it. If i told them it would ruin my life. They would hate me.

I want help, but i don't want my parents knowing.

My drug use started freshman year drinking, then i started smoking weed ocationally. My weed smoking increased to multiple times a day, then i started getting into other **** too.
To list some, ive done/still do extacy vicodin xanax, acid, ritalin, lsd, shrooms, coke, pcp, etc.
(never done crack or heroin, thank god)

I love doing them. My friends and i have a great time together. I love it. But since i am only a sophmore, i worry that later this year and next year, i might just keep getting worse.

I also feel like ive ****** up my life already, and stopping now wont change anything.
Ive lost everything that was once important to me.

How come in Genesis chapter 6 it says that GOD said that man's days will be 120 years, but there were people after that who lived longer. Isn't this an error? I know it's a small thing, but if this is an error isn't there a possiblity that there are other errors in the Bible. Maybe this shouldn't bother me but it does. I am a Christian, and I have been trying to read the Bible more. However, i am not sure if I should because I have doubts about whether it is completely accurate.

If you can't do it in your head, try to find the answer on paper, if it doesn't look right then do it on a calculator. If it still doesn't look right the just put something random down. GOOD LUCK!!!
