Answer: B
. particle size
Explanation:
Let's begin by explaining that a molecular sieve is a device, whose composition allows the absorbtion of molecules that are small enough to pass through its pores, since it is made up of small pores of a precise and uniform size.
Thus, very small molecules manage to pass through the pores of the sieve, while large ones do not.
So, based on this premise, a molecular sieve separates the substances by their size.
Hence, the correct option is B.
The bubbles that were observed after the mixing of the two substances is one of the products of the reaction. It is the carbon dioxide that is produced. To determine the mass of this gas produced, we need to remember the Law of conservation of mass where mass cannot be created or destroyed. With this, we can say that the total mass that goes in a process should be equal to the mass that is goes out of the process no matter what the reaction is. We do as follows:
Mass of reactants = mass of products
11.00 + 44.55 = 51.04 + mass of carbon dioxide
mass of carbon dioxide = 4.51 g
Actually, we can answer the problem even without the first statement. All we have to do is write the reaction for the production of sulfur trioxide.
2 S + 3 O₂ → 2 SO₃
The stoichiometric calculations is as follows:
7 g S * 1 mol/32.06 g S = 0.218 mol S
Moles O₂ needed = 0.218 mol S * 3 mol O₂/2 mol S = 0.3275 mol O₂
Since the molar mas of O₂ is 32 g/mol,
Mass of O₂ needed = 0.3275 mol O₂ * 32 g/mol = 10.48 g O₂
