Answer:
The number of moles of the gas is 9.295 moles or 9.30 moles
Explanation:
We use PV = nRT
Where P = 4.87 atm;
V = 67.54 L
R= 0.0821Latm/molK
T = 158 C = 158 +273 K = 431 K
the number of moles can be obtained by substituting the values in the respective columns and solve for n
n = PV / RT
n = 4.87 * 67.54 / 0.0821 * 431
n = 328.9198 / 35.3851
n = 9.295moles
The number of moles is approximately 9.30moles.
It is an ensemble of similar cells
We need to keep in mind that the compound is neutral.
H2SO3
2(+1)+S+3(-2)=0 (since its neutral)
2+S-6=0
S-4=0
S=4
Therefore the oxidation number for sulfur is +4.
