Zinc forms a compound with sulphur. it gives zinc sulphide, known as the mineral zinc blende or sphalerite. Hope I helped:) ^_^


How many zinc blende atoms are there per unit cell?

There are four zinc blende atoms per unit cell.


How do you get zinc from zinc blende?

Zinc can be obtained from zinc blende (also known as sphalerite) through a process called roasting. First, the zinc blende is heated in the presence of oxygen to convert it into zinc oxide. Then, the zinc oxide is further heated with coke (a form of carbon) to reduce it to metallic zinc, which can be collected for further use.


Is zinc blende a rocksalt?

No, zinc blende and rocksalt are different crystal structures. Zinc blende has a tetrahedral arrangement of atoms, while rocksalt has a cubic arrangement. Both structures are commonly found in crystalline materials but they have distinct geometries and properties.

Name the process used for the concentration of zinc blende?

The process used for the concentration of zinc blende (sphalerite) is called froth flotation. In this method, the ore is crushed and mixed with water to create a slurry, then collectors are added to bind to the zinc minerals. Air is bubbled through the slurry, creating froth that carries the zinc-rich minerals to the surface, while the gangue materials remain submerged. This allows for the selective separation of zinc from impurities.

Can you figure out the number of protons for zinc?

Yes, you can by the atomic number. The atomic number of zinc is 30, so zinc has 30 protons.


What is it called when zinc and sulfur is heated?

When Zinc and Sulphur are heated, an exothermic (giving OUT heat) reaction occurs. The Product formed is called Zinc Sulphide formula ZnS, also known as Zinc Blende in its mineral form. The Equation for the reaction is : Zn + S = ZnS, but I am not sure as the mixture is heated in presence of oxygen. If oxygen works as a catalyst then the equation is right otherwise the product would be Zinc Sulphate.(ZnSO4)


What is the common oxidation number for zinc?

Zinc will be 2+ in most cases.
