1. Sulfuric acid is formed when sulfur dioxide gas reacts with oxygen gas and water. Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction. If 12.5 mol sulfur dioxide reacts, how many mol of sulfuric acid can be produced and how many moles of oxygen gas is needed

1. Balanced chemical for the given chemical reaction is :

number of mole of sulphuric acid produced = 12.5 mol

number of mole of oxygen required=6.25 mol

Explanation:

1. Balanced chemical for the given chemical reaction is :

from above balanced equation it is clearly that ,

2 mole of sulpher dioxide gives 2 mole of sulphuric acid

1 mole of sulpher dioxide gives 1 mole of sulphuric acid

therefore,

12 .5 mole of sulpher dioxide will givs 12.5 mole of sulphuric acid

number of mole of sulphuric acid produced = 12.5 mol

2 mole of sulphur dioxide needs 1 mole of oxygen gas

so,

1 mole of sulphur dioxide needs 0.5 mole of oxygen gas

therefore 12.5 of sulphur dioxide needs mole of oxygen

number of mole of oxygen required=6.25 mol

i belive it is water
