Question

"5 dm^3 of SO2 reacts with 5dm^3 of Oxygen (02). What is the volume of the product, SO3?"
Please help!!!! test after tomorrow...

Answer 1

you have to write an equation and balance it

Answer 2

then if you're given mass you have to convert it to moles...

but in cases like these, where you assume gas ideality, 1 mole = 22.414 L

so the number of moles is proportional to the volume of gas.

Answer 3

but they're not gases

Answer 4

they are gases

Answer 5

Only 02 is a gas

Answer 6

so2 and so3 are solids

Answer 7

nope, they would give you a mass if they were solids.
if they were liquids, they would give you a concentration along with the volume

Answer 8

5 dm^3 of a solid is a huge amount

Answer 9

oh

Answer 10

so this is what i did so far, tell me if I'm doing it right or not:

Answer 11

I have 2So2 + O2 ---> 2SO3

Answer 12

and then we have to find limiting reagent?

Answer 13

SO_2 is limiting reactant

Answer 14

yep, so far so good

Answer 15

So the SO2 would give us 0.22 moles of SO3

Answer 16

V = 22.4 * 0.22

Answer 17

which equals 4.9

Answer 18

let me check in the answers if this is right
did i do it right?

Answer 19

you forgot to use the stoichiometric coefficients

Answer 20

I didn't need to multiply it though

Answer 21

because its 2SO_2 + O2 ---> 2SO3

Answer 22

2 * 1 = 2

Answer 23

oh sorry you're right

Answer 24

ok i checked the answers it says 5 which is basically 4.9 rounded thanks a lot for helping me

Answer 25

no prob ! sorry about the confusion I'm doing too many things at once

Answer 26

no problem
