What is the volume of SO3 produced when 75.0 L of SO2 are consumed?

2 SO2 (g) + O2 (g) --- 2 SO3 (g)

There's no SO3 or SO2 in your reaction...Also because they are gases, we would need more information than just volume to find out how much we have.

I'm soooo sorry! I totally put the wrong equation. Make sense now?

I'm reaaally bad at Chem. Sorry again. /.\

matt101 · Answer

Yup equation makes sense, but I still need more info about the gas. Do we know anything about pressure and temperature? Is the reaction occurring at STP?

anonymous · Answer

This is all the information I have. I believe it is assumed that the gases are at STP.

Actually I've just thought about the question and I realize that it doesn't actually matter what pressure or temperature are in this case!

The ratio of SO2 consumed to SO3 produced is 1:1 - in other words, for however much SO2 used up, you produce the same amount of SO3. This means that as long as the system remains at the same temperature and pressure, the SO3 will occupy the same volume - 75 L! That's why they don't tell you anything else in the question - it doesn't matter!
