23) A chemist carries out this reaction in the laboratory, using 4.31 grams of zinc and an excess of sulfur: Zn + S --> ZnS From the balanced equation, she calculates that she should obtain 6.41 grams of zinc sulfide. However, she isolates only 5.01 g of product. What is her percent yield for this reaction?
