Impure sample of ZnS contains 42.34% Zn. What is the percentage of pure ZnS in the sample ?
The question is asking to find the percentage of pure ZnS (Zinc Sulfide) in the impure sample. Since the impure sample contains 42.34% Zn, the remaining percentage (100% - 42.34% = 57.66%) corresponds to the Sulfur (S) element. The formula of ZnS is Zn:S = 1:1, so the percentage of pure ZnS in the sample is 63%.
