here limiting reagent is Na2S . so the product based on that
mass of precipitate HgS formed = 12.026 x 232.65 / 78.04
                                                Â
= 35.85 g
mass of precipitate HgS formed   = 35.85
g
mercury(II) nitrate consumed = 50.02
mercury(II) nitrate excess will remain after the reaction =
84.670 - 50.02
                                                                                      Â
= 34.649 g
