When the reaction equation is:

CaSO3(s) → CaO(s) + SO2(g)

we can see that the molar ratio between CaSO3 & SO2 is 1:1 so, we need to find first the moles SO2.

to get the moles of SO2 we are going to use the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

when P is the pressure =  1.1 atm

and V is the volume = 14.5 L 

n is the moles' number (which we need to calculate)

R ideal gas constant = 0.0821

and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 12.5 + 273 = 285.5 K

so, by substitution:

1.1 * 14.5 L = n * 0.0821 * 285.5

∴ n = 1.1 * 14.5 / (0.0821*285.5)

       = 0.68 moles SO2

∴ moles CaSO3 = 0.68 moles

so we can easily get the mass of CaSO3:

when mass = moles * molar mass

and we know that the molar mass of CaSO3= 40 + 32 + 16 * 3 = 120 g/mol


∴ mass = 0.68 moles* 120 g/mol = 81.6 g

Sulfuric acid is formed when sulfur dioxide reacts with oxygen and water. Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction. (
Nesterboy [21]

Balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:

2SO_{2} (g) + O_{2} (g)+ 2H_{2}O (l) ⇒H_{2} S_{} O_{4}

Moles of H_{2} S_{} O_{4} formed is 5.75 moles.

Moles of oxygen used is 5.75 moles in the reaction.

Explanation:

Data given:

moles of SO_{2} = 11.5 moles

moles of H_{2} S_{} O_{4} = ?

Moles of O_{2} needed =?

balanced equation with states of matter =?

Balanced chemical reaction under STP condition is given as:

2SO_{2}(g) + O_{2} (g) + 2H_{2}O (l) ⇒H_{2} S_{} O_{4}

From the balanced reaction 2 moles of sulphur dioxide reacted to form 1 mole of sulphuric acid:

so, from 11.5 moles of SO_{2}, x moles of H_{2} S_{} O_{4} is formed

\frac{1}{2}  =\frac{x}{11.5}

2x = 11.5

x = 5.75 moles of sulphuric acid formed.

From the balanced reaction 1 mole of oxygen reacted to form 1  mole of sulphuric acid.

when 11.5 moles of Sulphur dioxide reacted then oxygen in the reaction is 5.75 moles.

If atoms are not destroyed, what happens to them
Snowcat [4.5K]

The 1st law of thermodynamics doesn't  specify that matter can be created nor destroyed, but that the total amount of energy in a closed system cannot be created nor destroyed though it can be changed from one form to another.
