Answer:
1.67 moles
Explanation:
From the balanced equation of reaction:

1 mole of sulfur dioxide, SO2, is required to produce 3 moles of sulfur, S.
<em>If 1 mole SO2 = 3 moles S, then, how many moles of SO2 would be required for 5 moles S?</em>
Moles of SO2 needed = 5 x 1/3
= 5/3 or 1.67 moles
Hence, <u>1.67 moles of SO2 would be required to produce 5.0 moles of S.</u>
Answer:
0.645 L
Explanation:
To find the volume, you need to (1) convert grams to moles (using the molar mass) and then (2) calculate the volume (using the molarity ratio). The final answer should have 3 sig figs to match the sig figs of the given values.
(Step 1)
Molar Mass (KOH): 39.098 g/mol + 15.998 g/mol + 1.008 g/mol
Molar Mass (KOH): 56.104 g/mol
19.9 grams KOH 1 mole
-------------------------- x ----------------------- = 0.355 moles KOH
56.014 grams
(Step 2)
Molarity = moles / volume <----- Molarity ratio
0.550 M = 0.355 moles / volume <----- Insert values
(0.550 M) x volume = 0.355 moles <----- Multiply both sides by volume
volume = 0.645 L <----- Divide both sides by 0.550
