Answer:
D. (16.0 g + 16.0 g) × 100% / (32.1 g + 16.0 g + 16.0 g) = 49.9%
Explanation:
Step 1: Detemine the mass of O in SO₂
There are 2 atoms of O in 1 molecule of SO₂. Then,
m(O) = 2 × 16.0 g = 16.0 g + 16.0 g = 32.0 g
Step 2: Determine the mass of SO₂
m(SO₂) = 1 × mS + 2 × mO = 1 × 32.1 g + 2 × 16.0 g = 32.1 g + 16.0 g + 16.0 g = 64.1 g
Step 3: Detemine the mass percent of oxygen in SO₂
We will use the following expression.
m(O)/m(SO₂) × 100%
(16.0 g + 16.0 g) × 100% / (32.1 g + 16.0 g + 16.0 g) = 49.9%

We determine the limiting reactant by using the moles present in the equation and the actual moles.
According to equation, ratio of Fe₂O₃ : Al = 1 : 2
Actual moles of Fe₂O₃ = 187.3 / (56 x 2 + 16 x 3)
= 1.17
Actual moles of Al = 94.51 / 27
= 3.5
Fe₂O₃ is limiting. Fe₂O₃ required:
(moles Al)/2 = 3.5/2 = 1.75
Moles to be added = 1.75 - 1.17
= 0.58
Mass to be added = moles x Mr
= 0.58 x (56 x 2 + 16 x 3)
= 92.8 grams
