Answer

4.51 kJ/g

Work Step by Step

879 kJ is evolved when 2 mol of ZnS roasted. 439.5 kJ is evolved per mol of ZnS roasted. As the molar mass of ZnS= 97.474 g/mol, we can say that 439.5 kJ is evolved when 97.474 grams of ZnS is roasted. $\implies$ heat evolved per gram= $\frac{439.5\,kJ}{97.474\,g}$ $=4.51\,kJ/g$
