<u>Answer:</u> The formula of limiting reagent is 'S', the amount of excess reagent (carbon monoxide) left is 3.22 grams and the maximum amount of sulfur dioxide formed is 23.2 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}     .....(1)

  • <u>For sulfur:</u>

Given mass of sulfur = 11.6 g

Molar mass of sulfur = 32 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of sulfur}=\frac{11.6g}{32g/mol}=0.3625mol

  • <u>For carbon monoxide:</u>

Given mass of carbon monoxide = 23.5 g

Molar mass of carbon monoxide = 28 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of carbon monoxide}=\frac{23.5g}{28g/mol}=0.840mol

The chemical equation for the reaction of sulfur and carbon monoxide follows:

S(s)+2CO(g)\rightarrow SO_2(g)+2C(s)

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of sulfur reacts with 2 moles of carbon monoxide

So, 0.3625 moles of sulfur will react with = \frac{2}{1}\times 0.3625=0.725mol of carbon monoxide

As, given amount of carbon monoxide is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, sulfur is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

Amount of excess reagent (carbon monoxide) = [0.840 - 0.725] = 0.115 moles

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of sulfur produces 1 mole of sulfur dioxide

So, 0.3625 moles of sulfur will produce = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.3625=0.3625moles of sulfur dioxide

Now, calculating the mass of carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide from equation 1, we get:

  • <u>For carbon monoxide:</u>

Molar mass of carbon monoxide = 28 g/mol

Excess moles of carbon monoxide = 0.115 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.115mol=\frac{\text{Mass of carbon monoxide}}{28g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of carbon monoxide}=(0.115mol\times 28g/mol)=3.22g

  • <u>For sulfur dioxide:</u>

Molar mass of sulfur dioxide = 64 g/mol

Excess moles of sulfur dioxide = 0.3625 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.3625mol=\frac{\text{Mass of sulfur dioxide}}{64g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of sulfur dioxide}=(0.3625mol\times 64g/mol)=23.2g

Hence, the formula of limiting reagent is 'S', the amount of excess reagent (carbon monoxide) left is 3.22 grams and the maximum amount of sulfur dioxide formed is 23.2 grams
