Question

Consider the balanced equation below. 8H2 + S8 mc006-1.jpg 8H2S Based on the mole ratios, what can most likely be predicted? 1 mol of hydrogen will react with 1 mol of sulfur. 8 mol of hydrogen will react with 1 mol of sulfur. 8 mol of hydrogen will react with 8 mol of sulfur. 16 mol of hydrogen will react with 8 mol of sulfur.

Answer 1

B is the right answer (8 mol of hydrogen will react with 1 mol of sulfur)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: 8 moles of hydrogen reacts with 1 mole of sulfur.

Explanation: We are given a balanced chemical equation:

`8H_2+S_8\rightarrow 8H_2S`

By Stoichiometry, it is said that

8 moles of Hydrogen gas reacts with 1 mole of sulfur to produce 8 moles of hydrogen sulfide.

Mole ratio of reactants = Hydrogen : Sulfur = 8 : 1
