Answer:
0.558mole of SO₃
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Molar mass of SO₃ = 80.0632g/mol
Mass of S = 17.9g
Molar mass of S = 32.065g/mol
Number of moles of O₂ = 0.157mole
Molar mass of O₂ = 31.9988g/mol
Unknown:
Maximum amount of SO₃
Solution
We need to write the proper reaction equation.
2S + 3O₂ → 2SO₃
We should bear in mind that the extent of this reaction relies on the reactant that is in short supply i.e limiting reagent. Here the limiting reagent is the Sulfur, S. The oxygen gas would be in excess since it is readily availbale.
So we simply compare the molar relationship between sulfur and product formed to solve the problem:
First, find the number of moles of Sulfur, S:
Number of moles of S = 
Number of moles of S = 
= 0.558mole
Now to find the maximum amount of SO₃ formed, compare the moles of reactant to the product:
2 mole of Sulfur produced 2 mole of SO₃
Therefore; 0.558mole of sulfur will produce 0.558mole of SO₃

The ideal gas law is
PV = nRT
where
P = Pressure
V = Volume
n = number of moles
R = Ideal gas constant (8.3144598 L*kPa/(K*mol) )
T = Absolute temperature
We have everything except moles and volume. But we can calculate moles by starting with the atomic weight of argon and neon.
Atomic weight argon = 39.948
Atomic weight neon = 20.1797
Moles Ar = 1.00 g / 39.948 g/mol = 0.025032542 mol
Moles Ne = 0.500 g / 20.1797 g/mol = 0.024777375 mol
Total moles gas particles = 0.025032542 mol + 0.024777375 mol = 0.049809918 mol
Now take the ideal gas equation and solve for P, then substitute known values and solve.
PV = nRT
P = nRT/V
P = 0.049809918 mol * 8.3144598 L*kPa/(K*mol) * 275 K/5.00 L
P = 113.8892033 L*kPa / 5.00 L
P = 22.77784066 kPa
Now let's determine the percent of pressure provided by neon by calculating the percentage of neon atoms. Divide the number of moles of neon by the total number of moles.
0.024777375 mol / 0.049809918 mol = 0.497438592
Now multiply by the pressure
0.497438592 * 22.77784066 kPa = 11.33057699 kPa
Round the result to 3 significant figures, giving 11.3 kPa</span>
