An element cannot be broken down into any other substance by physical or chemical means.
Answer:
5 mol.
Explanation:
Equation of the reaction
2SO2 + 2H2O + O2 --> 2H2SO4
By stoichiometry, 2 moles of SO2 reacted with 2 moles of water and 1 mole of O2 to give 2 mole of sulphuric acid.
Number of moles:
5.0 mol SO2
4.0 mol O2
20.0 mol H2O
Calculating the limiting reagent,
5 mol of SO2 * 1 mol of O2/2 mol of SO2
= 2.5 mol of O2(4 mol of O2 is present)
5 mol of SO2 * 2 mol of H2O/2 mol of SO2
= 5 mol of H2O(20 mol of H2O)
SO2 is the limiting reagent.
Therefore, number of moles of H2SO4 = 5 mol of SO2 * 2 mol of H2SO4/2 mol of SO2
= 5 mol of H2SO4.
When a meteroid goes into the atmosphere the friction starts slowing it down and generating heat.
The chemical make-up changes.
