Question

- How many moles of S2 are needed to produce 1.50 moles of SO2 gas? S2 + 20, ----> 2802​

Answer 1

Answer:

0.75 moles

Explanation:

S2 + 2O2 = 2SO2

From the reaction above,

We see that number of moles attached to S2 is 1 and number of moles attached to SO2 is 2.

Since we want to find how many moles of S2 are needed to produce 1.50 moles of SO2 gas

The answer is gotten by proportion;

Number of moles = 1/2 × 1.5 = 0.75 moles
