Question

Determine the maximum amount of S8​ that could be produced by reacting 53.0 g of each reagent.

8 SO2 + 16 H2S -> 3 S8 + 16 H2O

Answer 1

Use dimensional analysis and the stoichiometry of the balanced equation:

For SO₂: 53.0 g SO₂ x 1 mol SO₂ / 64.1 g x 3 mol S₈ / 8 mol SO₂ x 266 g S₈ /mol = 82.5 g S₈

For H₂S: 53.0 g H₂S x 1 mol H₂S / 34.1 g x 3 mol S₈ / 16 mol H₂S x 266 g S₈/mol = 77.5 g S₈
