Question

Using the reaction below determine the amount of Sulfur proceduced in grams (this is a limiting reaction question) 2 H2S + SO2 -> 3 S + H2O 3.26g of dihydrogen sulfide react with 4.42 g of sulfur dioxide

Answer 1

= 2.2 g pf S. produced

Step-by-step explanation:

Balanced Reaction equation:

`2H_(2) S + SO_(2)` →
`3S + 2H_(2) O`

1 mole of H2S - 34.1g

? moles - 3.2g

= 3.2/34.1 = 0.09 moles of H2S

Also,

1 mole of S02 - 64.07 g

? moles - 4.42g

= 4.42/64.07 = 0.069 moles of SO2

Meaning SO2 is the limiting reagent

Finally, 3 moles of S - 32g of sulphur

0.069 mole = ? g of Sulphur

= 0.069 x 32

= 2.2 g pf S.
