Question

How many sulfur atoms are generated when 9.42 moles of H2S react according to the following equation: 2H2S+SO2→3S+2H2O

Answer 1

Answer:

A) 8.51 × 10²⁴  

Explanation:

1. Gather all the information

            2H₂S + SO₂ ⟶ 3S + 2H₂O

n/mol:   9.42

2. Calculate the moles of S atoms

The molar ratio is 3 mol S:2 mol H₂S

$\text{Moles of S} = \text{9.42 mol H _{2} S} \times \dfrac{\text{3 mol S }}{\text{2 mol H _{2} S }} = \text{14.13 mol S}$

3. Calculate the atoms of S

$\text{Atoms of S } = \text{14.13 mol S} \times \dfrac{6.022 \times 10^{23}\text{ S atoms}}{\text{1 mol S}} = \mathbf{8.51 \times 10^{24}}\textbf{ S atoms}$
