2so2 +o2 =2so3 what would be the volume of gases after reaction? If initially 10 lit each so2 and o2 were taken and the reaction is 50 % completed!

Considering constant temperature and pressure, we can perform calculations on volumes of gases just as we do for moles.
<br />\begin{tabular}{c c c c c c}<br />&amp; $2SO_2$ &amp; $+$ &amp; $O_2$ &amp; $\rightleftharpoons$ &amp; $2SO_3$\\<br />$\text{Initial}$ &amp; $10L$ &amp;&amp; $10L$ &amp;&amp; $0L$\\<br />$\text{Final}$ &amp; $10L-2V$ &amp;&amp; $10L-V$ &amp;&amp; $2V$\\<br />\end{tabular}<br />
Now, 100\% completion of the reaction means that concentration of SO_2 becomes zero. (Since, SO_2 is the limiting reagent.)
So 50\% completion of the reaction means that equilibrium volume of SO_2,
<br />V_{SO_2}=5L\\<br />\Rightarrow 10L-2V=5L\\<br />\Rightarrow V=2.5L\\<br />\Rightarrow V_{O_2}=10L-2.5L=7.5L\\<br />\text{and } V_{SO_3}=2V=5L\\<br />

Magnetron: No problem.
