Question

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

In the above equation how many grams of water can be made when 2 grams of HNO3 are consumed?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1 mole of HNO3 reacts with 1 mole of S to produce 1 mole of H2SO4, 6 moles of NO2, and 2 moles of H2O.

So, when 2 grams of HNO3 (1 mole) reacts, it produces 2 moles of H2O, which is equal to 2 x 18 = 36 grams.

Therefore, 36 grams of water can be made when 2 grams of HNO3 are consumed
