Answer:
a. 211.7
Explanation:
Iron Pyrite reacts with Oxygen to produce Iron (II) Oxide and Sulphur (IV) Oxide.
The equation is as follows:
4FeS₂₍s₎ + 11O₂₍g₎ → 2Fe₂O₃₍s₎ + 8SO₂₍g₎
From the equation, 4 moles of FeS₂ produce 8 moles of SO₂.
Therefore the reaction ratio is 4:8 or 1:2
198.20 grams of FeS₂ into moles is calculated as follows:
Moles= Mass/RMM
RMM of FeS₂ is 119.9750g/mol.
Number of moles = 198.20/119.9750g/mol
=1.652 moles of FeS₂
The reaction ratio of FeS₂ to SO₂ produced is 1:2
Thus SO₂ produced = 1.652 moles×2/1=3.304 moles
The mass of SO₂ produced =Moles ×RMM
=3.304 moles ×64.0638 g/mol
=211.667 grams
=211.7g
