Consider the reaction between reactants $S$ and $O_{2}$ : $$2 \mathrm{S}(s)+3 \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{SO}_{3}(g)$$ If a reaction vessel initially contains 5 mol $S$ and 9 mol $\mathrm{O}_{2}$ how many moles of $S, O_{2},$ and $S O_{3}$ will be in the reaction vessel after the reactants have reacted as much as possible? (Assume $100 \%$ actual yield.)

Key Concepts

Limiting Reactant

The limiting reactant is the substance that is completely consumed first in a chemical reaction, thereby determining the maximum amount of product that can be formed. Identifying the limiting reactant is crucial because it governs the extent of the reaction, even when other reactants are in excess.

Mole Ratio

The mole ratio is derived from the coefficients of the balanced chemical equation and indicates the exact proportional amounts of reactants and products involved in the reaction. This ratio is used to convert between moles of different substances, enabling precise stoichiometric calculations such as determining the limiting reactant and the theoretical yield.

Balanced Chemical Equation

A balanced chemical equation represents the conservation of mass and the fixed ratios in which reactants combine and products form. It provides the coefficients that indicate the number of moles of each substance that participate in the reaction, ensuring that atoms are neither created nor destroyed in the process.

Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry is the quantitative relationship between reactants and products in a chemical reaction. It uses the mole ratios from the balanced chemical equation to determine how much of each reactant is needed and how much product can be formed, making it essential for calculating yields and understanding reaction limits.
