The following balanced equation shows the formation of sulfur dioxide.

S + O2 mc023-1.jpg SO2

How many moles of sulfur are needed to produce 15.0 mol of sulfur dioxide?

Respuesta :

S  +  O₂   →   SO₂

The mole ratio of S to SO₂ is 1 : 1
∴ if moles of SO₂ = 15
 then moles of SO₂ = 15 mol

∴ the # of moles of sulfur needed to produce 15.0 mol of sulfur dioxide is 15 mol
15 mol Sulfur is needed to produce 15.0 mol of Sulfur dioxide.
