2so2+o2= how many moles of so3
wouldn't it make sense to balance this equation?
SO2 + O2 >>>SO3
To determine how many moles of SO3 are produced in the given reaction, we need to use the stoichiometry of the balanced chemical equation.
The balanced equation is:
2SO2 + O2 → 2SO3
From this equation, we can see that 2 moles of SO2 react with 1 mole of O2 to produce 2 moles of SO3.
Therefore, in order to calculate how many moles of SO3 are produced, we need to know the amount of reactants (SO2 and O2) used.
Let's say we have 3 moles of SO2 and 2 moles of O2. Using the stoichiometry of the balanced equation, we can set up the calculation as follows:
Moles of SO3 = (Moles of SO2 used / Stoichiometric coefficient of SO2) = (3 moles / 2) = 1.5 moles
Since we are given the amount of SO2 and O2 used in the reaction, we can calculate the amount of SO3 produced by using the stoichiometry of the balanced equation. However, if we are not given the amounts of reactants, we cannot determine the exact number of moles of SO3 produced.
