Question

using the above equation, how many moles of sulfur can be produced if 0.5640 moles of sulfur dioxide are used with excess hydrogen sulfide?

Answer 1

• 1.692 mol of sulfur

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Write the balanced chemical equation

2H₂S + SO₂ → 2H₂O + 3S

2. State the mole ratio

`1molSO_2:3molS`

3. Calculate the moles of S

• Moles S = 0.5640 mol SO₂ × (3 mol S / 1 mol SO₂) = 1.692 mol S
