If 0.5 mole of sulfur dioxide is mixed with 0.5 mol of oxygen,then how many moles of sulfur trioxide can be obtained
Dear Student,
1 mole O2 reacts with 2 mole of SO2, so, 0.5 mole O2 reacts with 1 mole SO2.
Therefore, SO2 is limiting reagent. As per given equation, 2 mole SO2 forms 2 mole SO3, hence 0.5 mole SO2 will form 0.5 mole of SO3.
