The principle that in any closed system
Answer:
0.99 kg O₂
1.9 kg SO₂
Explanation:
Let's consider the reaction between sulfur and oxygen to form sulfur dioxide.
S + O₂ → SO₂
The mass ratio of S to O₂ is 32.07:32.00. The mass of oxygen required to react with 1 kg of sulfur is:
1 kg S × (32.00 kg O₂/32.07 kg S) = 0.998 kg O₂
The mass ratio of S to SO₂ is 32.07:64.07. The mass of sulfur dioxide formed when 1 kg of sulfur is burned is:
1 kg S × (64.07 kg SO₂/32.07 kg S) = 1.99 kg SO₂
