For the balanced equation shown below, how many moles of SO2 be PRODUCED, by 0.9807 moles of ZnS?
2ZnS+3O2 --> 2ZnO+2SO2
See your post above.
To determine the number of moles of SO2 that will be produced, we need to use the balanced equation and the stoichiometric coefficients.
In the balanced equation, we see that 2 moles of ZnS produce 2 moles of SO2.
Therefore, the molar ratio between ZnS and SO2 is 2:2, which simplifies to 1:1. This means that for every 1 mole of ZnS consumed, 1 mole of SO2 is produced.
Given that we have 0.9807 moles of ZnS, we can conclude that an equal number of moles of SO2 will be produced. So, 0.9807 moles of SO2 will be produced by 0.9807 moles of ZnS.
