I’m in chemistry too. Giving this my best guess I’d say
Independent: Gem Mines
Dependent: Gem clarity
Controlled: Temperature
Answer:
50 g of S are needed
Explanation:
To star this, we begin from the reaction:
S(s) + O₂ (g) → SO₂ (g)
If we burn 1 mol of sulfur with 1 mol of oxygen, we can produce 1 mol of sulfur dioxide. In conclussion, ratio is 1:1.
According to stoichiometry, we can determine the moles of sulfur dioxide produced.
100 g. 1mol / 64.06g = 1.56 moles
This 1.56 moles were orginated by the same amount of S, according to stoichiometry.
Let's convert the moles to mass
1.56 mol . 32.06g / mol = 50 g
