Sulfur trioxide may be prepared by the following two reactions:

S₈ + O₂(g) → SO₂(g)

SO₂(g) + O₂(g) → SO₃(g)

How many grams of SO₃ will be produced from of S₈?

Answer:
320
Solution:

128g S8 = 0.5 moles

 

From the first reaction:

S₈ + 8O₂(g) → 8SO₂(g)

1 mol S₈ produces 8 mol SO₂.

 

0.5 mol S₈ produces 4 mol SO₂.

From the second reaction:

2SO₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2SO₃(g)

4 mol SO₂ will produce 4 mol SO₃ (since the ratio is 2:2 or 1:1).

 

Molar mass of SO₃ = 80 g/mol

Mass of SO₃ = 4 x 80 = 320g
