1 answer:
178.87 grams of sulphur dioxide is formed according to the equation given.
Explanation:
The balanced chemical reaction for the process is:
4 FeS2 + 11 O2 ⇒ 2Fe2O3(-) + 8 SO2
the reaction involving FeS and oxygen having balanced chemical equation as:
moles of oxygen given as 3.84
so when 11 moles of O2 reacts to form 8 moles SO2
3.84 moles of oxygen reacts to form x moles of SO2
=
x =
2.792 moles of sulphur dioxide will be formed
The mass can be calculated as number of moles x molar mass of 1 mole of SO2
= 2.792 x 64.066
= 178.87 grams of sulphur dioxide is formed.

Answer:
The chemical formula of the gas is .
Explanation:
The difference between the container with gas and empty container is equal to the mass of the gas.
Let the gas be
Mass of the gas = m
Molar mass of diatomic gas = M
Pressure of the gas = P = 1.80 atm
Volume of the gas = V = 4.6 L
Temperature of the gas= T = 27.0 C = 27.0 + 273 K = 300 K
Moles of diatomic gas = n =
Using ideal gas equation:
Atomic mass of the element X =
The element is nitrogen and the diatomic gas is .
