Answer:
We'll have 82 moles ZnO and 41 moles S
Explanation:
Step 1: data given
Number of moles Zinc (Zn) = 82 moles
Number of moles sulfur oxide (SO2) = 42 moles
Step 2: The balanced equation
2Zn + SO2 → 2ZnO + S
Step 3: Calculate the limiting reactant
For 2 moles Zinc we need 1 mol sulfur oxide to produce 2 moles zinc oxide and 1 mol sulfur
Zinc is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consume (82 moles). Sulfur oxide is in excess. There will react 82/2 = 41 moles
There will remain 42-41 = 1 mol SO2
Step 4: Calculate moles of products
For 2 moles Zinc we need 1 mol sulfur oxide to produce 2 moles zinc oxide and 1 mol sulfur
For 82 moles Zinc we'll have 82 moles of Zinc Oxide (ZnO)
For 82 moles Zinc we'll have 82/2 = 41 moles of sulfur
We'll have 82 moles ZnO and 41 moles S
