John Dalton
Although the concept of the atom dates back to the ideas of Democritus, the English meteorologist and chemist John Dalton formulated the first modern description of it as the fundamental building block of chemical structures.
Actually, we can answer the problem even without the first statement. All we have to do is write the reaction for the production of sulfur trioxide.
2 S + 3 O₂ → 2 SO₃
The stoichiometric calculations is as follows:
6 g S * 1 mol/32.06 g S = 0.187 mol S
Moles O₂ needed = 0.187 mol S * 3 mol O₂/2 mol S = 0.2805 mol O₂
Since the molar mas of O₂ is 32 g/mol,
Mass of O₂ needed = 0.2805 mol O₂ * 32 g/mol = 8.976 g O₂
<span>8.21 L of C3H8(g)
Lets take c as the molar volume at that temperature.
c L <><> 5c L
C3H8 (g) + 5O2 (g) --> 3CO2 + 4H2O + Q
8.21 L <><> x L
x = (8.21 * 5c)/c = 8.21 * 5 = 41.05 L O2 consumed for a 100% yield.</span>
