Answer

0.5 mol $O_{2}$

Work Step by Step

According to the reaction, 2 mol ZnS reacts with 3 mol $O_{2}$ completely. That is, 1 mol ZnS reacts with 1.5 mol $O_{2}$ completely. Therefore 4.2 mol ZnS reacts with $1.5\times4.2\,mol\,O_{2}$,i.e., with 6.3 mol $O_{2}$. (6.8-6.3)mol $O_{2}$ is excess. That is, 0.5 mol $O_{2}$ is left.
