Question

6.0 dm³ of sulfur dioxide is reacted with 4.0 dm³ of oxygen according to the equation below.
2SO2(g) +O2(g) → 2SO3(g)
What volume of sulfur trioxide (in dm³) is formed ? (Assume the reaction goes to completion and all gases are measured at the same temperature and pressure.

Solution

Dear Student

Since, gases are measured at same temperature and pressure, therefore, 2 dm³ of sulphur dioxide, SO₂reacts with 1 dm³of oxygen, O₂to produce 2 dm³ of sulphur trioxide, SO₃, that is -
2SO₂ + O₂ -------> 2SO₃
2 L 1 L 2 L (because, 1 dm³ = 1 L)

Now, 6 dm³ of sulphur dioxide, SO₂would react with 4 dm³of oxygen, O₂to produce x dm³ of sulphur trioxide, SO₃, that is -
2SO₂ + O₂ -------> 2SO₃
6 L 4 L x L

Therefore, substituing the values, we get -

SO₂ (2 L) produces SO₃ (2 L)
So,
SO₂ (6 L) should produce SO₃ (6 L)

Thus, 6 L of SO₃ or sulphur trioxide should be formed.
