Answer:

2.07 mol O₂

Explanation:

First we need to write down the species present in the chemical equation, using the information given by the exercise:

H₂S + O₂ → SO₂ + H₂O

However this equation is not balanced, so now we balance it:

2H₂S + 3O₂ → 2SO₂ + 2H₂O

Now we can use the stoichiometric ratio to calculate the moles of oxygen from the moles of sulfide dioxide:

1.38 molSO₂ * $\frac{3molO_{2}}{2molSO_{2}}$ = 2.07 mol O₂
