Question

(9) How many moles of oleum in 1780. g of oleum? - Write an equation to summarize the process.

Answer 1

1. 10moles

2. Find the summarized equation below

Step-by-step explanation:

Mole = mass ÷ molar mass

Molar mass of oleum (H2S2O7) = 1(2) + 32(2) + 16(7)

= 2 + 64 + 112

= 178g/mol

According to the information provided, the mass of oleum is 1780g, hence, the number of moles in it is:

Mole = 1780/178

Mole = 10moles

2. The summarized equation of the contact process is:

1) S + O2 → SO2

2) 2SO2 + O2 → 2SO3

3) SO3 + H2SO4 (conc. sulfuric acid) → H2S2O7

4) H2S2O7 + H2O → 2H2SO4 (dilute sulfuric acid)
