Question

If 8.0 g of sulfur dioxide came in contact with a cloud containing 2.2 g of oxygen, indicate the

Answer 1

Answer:

Limiting reactant= SO₂, Theoretical yield = 9.6g SO₃

Explanation:

The first step is is to find the limiting reactant; you do this using stoichiometry.

The reactant that produces the smallest amount of sulfur trioxide SO₃, is the limiting reactant.

In this problem, SO₂ is the limiting reactant.

Now to find the theoretical yield we will use the smallest value of SO₃.
