what weight of SO2 can be made by burning sulphur in 5 moles of oxygen
Answers
----------
S + O2 ----------- -------------------------------------------------SO2
Now 1 mole of Oxygen gives one moles of sulphur dioxide.
5 S + 5 O2 ------------------------------------------------------------ 5 SO2
Hence it is clear from the equation that burning 5 moles of Oxygen will produce 5 moles of SO2.

Answer:
By burning sulphur in 5 moles of oxygen gas, 320 grams of SO₂ can be produced.
Explanation:
We know the chemical reaction of sulphur with oxygen gives sulphur oxide. It is a combustion reaction.
S + O₂(g) SO₂(g)
One mole of oxygen combines with sulphur produced one mole of sulphur dioxide.
We have given the five moles of oxygen;
5S + 5O₂(g) 5SO₂(g)
From the above chemical equation, we can say that the five moles of oxygen gas combines with five moles of sulphur and we get five moles of sulphur dioxide.
The molecular mass of sulphur dioxide = 64g/mol
The weight of 1 mole of SO₂ = 64g
The weight of 5 moles of SO₂ = 5×64 = 320g
