Question

S + 6 HNO3 --> H₂SO4 + 6 NO₂ + 2 H₂O In the above equation how many moles of H₂SO4 can be made when 7 moles of HNO3 are consumed?​

Answer 1

1.17 moles H₂SO₄

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the moles H₂SO₄, you need to multiply the given value by the mole-to-mole ratio. This ratio is made up of the coefficients of the relevant molecules from the balanced chemical equation. It is important to arrange the ratio in a way that allows for the cancellation of units.

S + 6 HNO₃ ------> 1 H₂SO₄ + 6 NO₂ + 2 H₂O
^ ^

7 moles HNO₃ 1 mole H₂SO₄
----------------------- x ------------------------ = 1.17 moles H₂SO₄
6 moles HNO₃
