5 0

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 = \frac{mass }{molar mass}

   Number of moles of S =  \frac{17.9 }{32.065} = 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

What happens when carbon dioxide is passed through lime water for a long time? write with equation​
Vlada [557]

Answer:

when CO2 gas is passed through lime water it turns milky due to the formation of calcium carbonate which formula is CaCO3.

Ca(OH)2+ CO2------ CaCO3

when excess of carbon dioxide is passed through calcium carbonate calcium hydrogen carbonate is formed and solution become colourless.

CaCO3+CO2------ Ca(HCO3)

Three carbon atoms are linked by single covalent bonds such that they form the shape of a V. All of the unshared electrons form
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

C) 8

Explanation:

Total number of carbon atoms = 3

Number of single bonds = 3

So, each carbon is bonded to the next carbon with the single bond, Number of unshared electrons left with the terminate carbons are 3 and with the intermediate carbon is 2.

Thus, the two terminate carbon have 3 hydrogen each and the intermediate will have 2.

<u>Total - 8</u>
