Question

S(s)+O2(g)SO2(g) (Yield=80%)
SO2(g)+Cl2+2H2OH2SO4+2HClH2SO4+BaCl2BaSO4+2HCl (Yield=30%)

80 g of Sulphur and 112 L of oxygen at STP is burnt to form SO2, which is oxidized by
56 L of Cl2 gas at STP dissolved in water. This solution is treated with BaCl2 solution. Calculate the moles of precipitate formed?
(Molar mass of barium = 137 g/mol)

Solution

The correct option is A 0.6 mol
Moles of S =given Massmolar mass=8032=2.5 molMoles of O2=given volume at STPmolar volume at STP=11222.4=5 mol
1 mole of S reacts with 1 mole of O2
2.5 moles will react with 2.5 moles of O2
So, Sulphur will be the limiting reagent.
1 mole of S produces 1 mole of SO2
2.5 moles will produce 2.5 moles of SO2
Actual amount formed =2.5×0.8=2 mol
In reaction (ii),
Moles of Cl2=given volumemolar volume=5622.4=2.5 mol
1 mole of SO2 reacts with 1 mole of Cl2
2 moles will require 2 moles of Cl2
Hence, SO2 is the limiting reagent.
1 mole of SO2 produces 1 mole of H2SO4
So, 2 moles of H2SO4 will be produced.
In reaction (iii),
1 mole of H2SO4 produces 1 mole of BaSO4
So, 2 moles of BaSO4 will be produced.
Actual amount of BaSO4 formed
= 2×0.3=0.6 mol
