We have to first write a balanced equation.
so2 + o2 -> so3

this is not balanced though. we have 3 oxygen on right and 4 on left
2so2 + o2 -> 2so3

now it is same on both sides. we have to figure out which is limiting reagent with the given amounts of reagents. we do this by comparing the ratio between them in terms of moles. we see that so2 has a coefficient of 2 and o2 has none which implies 1 and so3 has 2. this means that for every 2 moles of so2 reacting with 1 mole of o2, we get 2 moles of so3.

lets convert the given values to moles. to do this we know that molecular weight is measured in grams per mole. we are given grams and need to cancel out the grams to get moles. so the molecular weight:
so2 =32.1 + 2 * 16 = 64.1 g/mol
o2 = 2 * 16 = 32 g/mol
so3 = 32.1 + 3 * 16 = 80.1 g/mol

now to convert 90 g of 2so2 under ideal conditions.
90g / 64.1g/mol = 1.404 moles

convert this amount of moles of so2 to moles of o2. we have 2 moles of so2 to 1 of o2
1.404moles so2 / 2 moles so2 * 1 mole o2= 0.702 moles o2

so we see under ideal conditions that 90g of so2 would react with .702g of o2. lets see how many we actually have with 100g of o2
100g / 32g/mol =3.16 mol.

so we have a lot more o2 than needed. we are looking for how much is left in grams. we have to figure out how much was used. to do this convert our ideal moles of o2 into grams.
.702 moles o2 * 32g/mol = 22.5g o2

so what we startrd with (100g) minus what we needed (22.5g) is what we have left
100 - 22.5 = 77.5g o2

The number of atoms or molecules in a mole is known as the __________ constant.
AnnZ [28]

Answer: Avogrado's Constant

Explanation:

One mole of a substance is equal to 6.022 × 10²³ units of that substance (such as atoms, molecules, or ions). The number 6.022 × 10²³ is known as Avogadro's number or Avogadro's constant. The concept of the mole can be used to convert between mass and number of particles.

A 20.00-mL sample of a weak base is titrated with 0.0568 M HCl. At the endpoint, it is found that 17.88 mL of titrant was used.
nata0808 [166]

Answer: 0.0508mL

Explanation: Using the basic formula that states: C acid * V acid = C base * V base. we have:0.568 * 17.88 = 20 * C base.

therefore concentration of the base is 1.0156/20 = 0.0508 mL

LiRa [457]

Answer:

- 8.89 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

\frac{(Vf-Vo)}{time} =  \frac{(45-85 m/s)}{4.5s} = - 8.89 m/s^{2}

Measurements show that the ph of a particular lake is 4.0. What is the hydrogen ion concentration of the lake?
fomenos

Answer: Hydrogen ion concentration of the lake is 10^{-4}M

Explanation:

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration. Acids have pH ranging from 1 to 6.9 and bases have pH ranging from 7.1 to 14.

To calculate the pH of the solution, we use the equation:

pH=-\log[H^+]

We are given:

pH = 4.0

Putting values in above equation, we get:

4.0=-\log[H^+]

[H^+]=10^{-4.0}

[H^+]=10^{-4}

Thus hydrogen ion concentration of the lake is 10^{-4}M
