Sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄), is formed when sulfur dioxide (SO₂) reacts with oxygen and water. Using the balanced chemical reaction above, how many moles of H₂SO₄ are produced from 8.5 moles of SO₂?

Sagot :

Answer:

8.5 mol H₂SO₄

Explanation:

It seems the balanced reaction the problem is referring to is absent, however the description matches the following balanced reaction:

  • 2SO₂ + O₂ + 2H₂O → 2H₂SO₄

Now we can convert 8.5 moles of SO₂ into moles of H₂SO₄, using the stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced reaction:

  • 8.5 mol SO₂ * [tex]\frac{2molH_2SO_4}{2molSO_2}[/tex] = 8.5 mol H₂SO₄
