Question 1: S + 6 HNO3 --> H2SO4 + 6 NO2 + 2 H2O
In the above equation how many moles of H2SO4 can be made when 10 moles of HNO3 are consumed?
Question 2: Sodium chlorate decomposes into sodium chloride and oxygen gas as seen in the equation below.
2NaClO3 --> 2NaCl +3O2
How many moles of NaClO3 were needed to produce 57 moles of O2? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Question 3: Sodium chlorate decomposes into sodium chloride and oxygen gas as seen in the equation below.
2NaClO3 --> 2NaCl +3O2

For any instance in which you're converting from moles of one substance to moles of another in a reaction, you'll be using mole-to-mole ratios, which can be determined from the coefficients of the balanced chemical equation. For instance:
1) 10 mol HNO3 * (1 mol H2SO4/6 mol HNO3) = 1.67 mol H2SO4
The 1 mol H2SO4 and 6 mol of HNO3 in the conversion factor come from the coefficients of 1 and 6 for H2SO4 and HNO3 (respectively) in the balanced chemical equation.
2) 57 mol O2 * (2 mol NaClO3/3 mol O2) = 38 mol NaClO3
3) 10 mol NaClO3 * (3 mol O2/2 mol NaClO3) = 15 mol O2
I hope this helped!
