Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

0.75 mol SO₂

Step 2: Identify Conversions

[PT] Molar Mass of S - 32.07 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of SO₂ - 32.07 + 2(16.00) = 64.07 g/mol

Step 3: Convert

1. Set up:
   `\displaystyle 0.75 \ mol \ SO_2((64.07 \ g \ SO_2)/(1 \ mol \ SO_2))`
2. Multiply/Divide:
   `\displaystyle 48.0525 \ g \ SO_2`

Step 4: Check

Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 2 sig figs.

48.0525 g SO₂ ≈ 48 g SO₂
