Answer:
320 grams of sulfur trioxide are required to produce 4.00 mol of sulfuric acid.
Explanation:
The balanced reaction is:
SO₃ + H₂O → H₂SO₄
By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:
Being the molar mass of each compound:
By reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of each compound participate in the reaction:
Then you can apply the following rule of three: if 1 mole of sulfuric acid is produced by the reaction of 80 grams of sulfur trioxide, 4 moles of sulfuric acid is produced from how much mass of sulfur trioxide?
mass of sulfur trioxide= 320 grams
320 grams of sulfur trioxide are required to produce 4.00 mol of sulfuric acid.
