Question

Consider the unbalanced chemical equation $\mathrm{S}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4} \rightarrow \mathrm{SO}_{2}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ (a) Balance the equation. (b) If you react $4.80 \mathrm{~g}$ of sulfur with $16.20 \mathrm{~g}$ of $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}$, how many grams of $\mathrm{SO}_{2}$ can theoretically be produced?

Step 1

The balanced equation is: $$\mathrm{S} + \mathrm{H}_{2}\mathrm{SO}_{4} \rightarrow \mathrm{SO}_{2} + 2\mathrm{H}_{2}\mathrm{O}$$ (b) To determine how many grams of $\mathrm{SO}_{2}$ can theoretically be produced, we need to find the limiting reactant. First, we Show more…
