'SO2 is an air pollutant released during burning of fossil fuels & from automobile exhaust'.

  1. Write the names of elements present in this gas.
  2. What is the valency of sulphur in SO2 & SO3.
  3. FInd out the no: of molecules in 5 moles of SO2.
  4. Calculate the no : of moles in 320 g of SO2 gas
  5. Calculate the molarmass of 10 moles of sodium sulphite.
    (with Explanation please)

1. Elements present in SO2 gas are: S- Sulphur

                      O - Oxygen

2. Valency of S in SO2: +4

  Valency of S in SO3: +6

3. Number of molecules in 5 moles of SO2:

1 mole of SO2 contains = 6.023*1023

5 moles of SO2 contains = 5 * 6.023*1023 = 30.115*1023 molecules

4. Number of moles in 320 g of SO2 :

64g SO2 makes = 1 mole

320 g SO2 will make = 320 / 64 = 5 moles

5. Molar mass of 10 moles of sodium sulphite:

Molar mass of 1 mole of sodium sulphite = 126 g

Molar mass of 10 mole of sodium sulphite = 126 g * 10 = 1260 g
