2 g of sulfur will react with 3 g of oxygen to produce 5 g of sulfur trioxide.If 54 g of sulfur and 100 g of oxygen are placed into a sealed container and allowed to react,how much sulfur dioxide will be produced?
A)54 g
B)81 g
C)135 g
D)154 g

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction between sulfur and oxygen to form sulfur trioxide is based on the stoichiometry of the reaction. Given that 2 g of sulfur reacts with 3 g of oxygen to produce 5 g of sulfur trioxide, the reaction is balanced as S + O2 → SO3. With 54 g of sulfur and 100 g of oxygen, sulfur is the limiting reactant. The ratio of sulfur to sulfur trioxide is 1:1 by mass, so 54 g of sulfur will produce 135 g of sulfur trioxide.

2 G of Sulfur Will React with 3 G of Oxygen
