Question

Sulphur reacts with potassium superoxide

(KO2) as 2KO2 + S==== K2SO4

How many moles of K2SO4 will be formed when 1 mole of each KO2 and S is reacted?

Answer 1

Given:

The reaction between Sulphur and Potassium Superoxide.

No of moles of Sulphur = 1

No of moles of Potassium Superoxide = 1

To Find:

The no of moles of K2SO4 formed from the given amount of Sulphur and Potassium Superoxide.

Calculation:

- The given reaction is:

2 KO2 + S → K2SO4

- According to the given reaction:

2 moles of KO2 react with 1 mole of S to produce 1 mole of K2SO4.

⇒ 1 mole of KO2 will react with 0.5 moles of S to produce 0.5 moles of K2SO4.

- Here, KO2 will act as a limiting reagent as it gets used up completely and 0.5 moles of S will be left unreacted.

- So, 0.5 moles of K2SO4 is formed when 1 mole of each KO2 and S is reacted.

Answer 2

Answer:

0.5 moles
