Answer #1

Balanced equation

2SO2 + O2 ----> 2SO3

Number of moles = mass in gram / Molar mass

Molar mass of SO2 = 64.07 g/mol

Molar mass of O2 = 32 g/mol

Molar mass of SO3 = 80.07 g/mol

Number of moles of SO2 = 5.80 g / 64.07 g/mol = 0.0905 mol

Number of moles of O2 = 2.45 g / 32 g/mol = 0.0766 mol

From reaction, 2.0 mol of SO2 reacts with 1.0 mol of O2 produces 2.0 mol of SO3 then 0.0905 mol of SO2 will react with 1.0 mol * 0.0905 mol / 2.0 mol = 0.04525 mol of O2 will produce 0.0905 mol of SO3.

Since SO2 is reacting completely during the reaction so SO2 is limiting reagent.

Number of moles of SO3 formed = 0.0905 mol

Mass of SO3 produced = 0.0905 mol * 80.07 g/mol = 7.25 g

Since O2 is not reacting completely during the reaction so O2 was excess reagent.

Number of excess reagent O2 remaining = (0.0766 - 0.04525) mol = 0.03135 mol

Mass of excess reagent O2 remaining = 0.03135 mol * 32 g/mol = 1.00 g
