When 5.00 g of sulfur are combined with 5.00 g of oxygen, 10.00 g of sulfur dioxide (SO2) are formed.What mass of oxygen would be required to convert 4.00 g of sulfur into sulfur trioxide (SO3)?

Answer:

[tex]m_{O_2}=6gO_2[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the reaction:

[tex]2S+3O_2\rightarrow 2SO_3[/tex]

Thus, for 4.00 g of sulfur (atomic mass = 32 g/mol), we apply the shown 2:3 mole ratio with oxygen (molar mass = 32 g/mol) in order to compute its requirement:

[tex]m_{O_2}=4.00gS*\frac{1molS}{32gS}*\frac{3molO_2}{2molS}*\frac{32gO_2}{1molO_2}\\ \\m_{O_2}=6gO_2[/tex]

Best regards.

The mass of oxygen would be required is [tex]6gO_2[/tex]

  • The calculation is as follows;

[tex]= 4.00 \times \frac{1molS}{32gS} \times \frac{3molO_2}{2molS} \times \frac{32gO_2}{1molO_2} \\\\= 6gO_2[/tex]

Here for 4.00 g of sulfur (atomic mass = 32 g/mol), we used the shown 2:3 mole ratio with oxygen (molar mass = 32 g/mol).
