Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The conversion of sulphur to sulfuric acid, though it goes through several steps, is:
2 S + 3 O2 + 2 H2O → 2 H2SO4
OK, so the equation says for every 2 moles of S you will get two moles of sulfuric acid. With a little simple math, then, the ratio of S to H2SO4 is 2:2 which is the same as 1:1.
While not correct by convention, you can write the above equation as
S + 3/2 O2 + H2O → H2SO4
And then the relationship between S and H2SO4 is more clear.
