Adding because evaporation speed is increased with increased temperature
The mass of sodium sulfite that was used will be 1,890 grams.
<h3>Stoichiometric problems</h3>
First, the equation of the reaction:

The mole ratio of SO2 produced and sodium sulfite that reacted is 1:1.
Mole of 960 grams SO2 = 960/64 = 15 moles
Equivalent mole of sodium sulfite that reacted = 15 moles
Mass of 15 moles sodium sulfite = 15 x 126 = 1,890 grams
