Answer:

14.3 g SO₃

Explanation:

2S + 3O₂ → 2SO₃

First, find the limiting reactant.  To do that, calculate the mass of oxygen needed to react with all the sulfur.

5.71 g S × (1 mol S / 32 g S) = 0.178 mol S

0.178 mol S × (3 mol O₂ / 2 mol S) = 0.268 mol O₂

0.268 mol O₂ × (32 g O₂ / mol O₂) = 8.57 g O₂

There are 10.0 g of O₂, so there's enough oxygen.  The limiting reactant is therefore sulfur.

Use the mass of sulfur to calculate the mass of sulfur trioxide.

5.71 g S × (1 mol S / 32 g S) = 0.178 mol S

0.178 mol S × (2 mol SO₃ / 2 mol S) = 0.178 mol SO₃

0.178 mol SO₃ × (80 g SO₃ / mol SO₃) = 14.3 g SO₃

Which of the following statements about decomposition reactions is true?
Andreyy89
C

Decomposition is of this form: A becomes B+C ... so after the reaction, the element A DECOMPOSES into two smaller elements, B and C.

Synthesis is the opposite: B+C becomes A AFTER THE REACTION.

Hope that helps :))

Which element has chemical properties that are most similar to those of calcium?
iris [78.8K]
I think the answer is (1) Co. Because the element of Cobalt also has 2 electrons at the outer layer which is the same as Calcium. And the outer layer is an important factor which can affect the property of an element.

5 difference between Ionic compound and covalent compounds in tabular form<br>​
Savatey [412]

1. Ionic compounds are formed by the transfer of electrons that are positively and negatively charged, whereas, covalent compounds are formed by sharing the electrons. 2. In an ionic compound, bonding involves a metal and nonmetal, whereas, in the covalent compound, bonding is between nonmetals.
