Solution
The correct option is D 0.25 moles
Option C is the correct answer.
From the equation it is seen that,
2 moles of SO2 react with 1 mole of O2 to give 2 moles of SO3
Thus, 1 mole of SO2 reacts with 12 mole of O2 to give 1 mole of SO3
Thus 0.25 moles of SO2 will react with 0.125 moles of O2 to give 0.25 moles of SO3
