Question

R. Calculate the mass of sulfur dioxideproduced by burning 16 g of sulfur inexcess of oxygen in contact process.(Average atomic mass : S = 32 u,0 = 16 u)(Ans. 32 g)Explain​

Answer 1

Answer:

32g

Explanation:

as the limiting reagent decides the amount of product formed,

O2 is given in excess so sulphur is limiting reagent,

reaction is S+O2 =SO2

32g S gives 64g SO2.

16g S will give ?

so,

32g = 64g

16g = x

cross multiply we get,

32g × x = 64g × 16g

x = (64g × 16g)/32g

x = 16g × 2g

x = 32g

so, 32g of SO2 is produced.
