What volume of oxygen gas, in milliliters, is required to react with 0.640 g of SO2 gas at STP?

11.2 mL
22.4 mL
112 mL
224 m

Respuesta :

Answer : The correct option is, 112 ml

Solution : Given,

Mass of [tex]SO_2[/tex] = 0.640 g

Molar mass of [tex]SO_2[/tex] = 64 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of [tex]SO_2[/tex].

[tex]\text{Moles of }SO_2=\frac{\text{Mass of }SO_2}{\text{Molar mass of }SO_2}=\frac{0.640g}{64g/mole}=0.01moles[/tex]

Now we have to calculate the moles of oxygen gas.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

[tex]2SO_2+O_2\rightarrow 2SO_3[/tex]

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 moles of [tex]SO_2[/tex] react with 1 mole of [tex]O_2[/tex] gas

So, 0.01 moles of [tex]SO_2[/tex] react with [tex]\frac{0.01}{2}=5\times 10^{-3}[/tex] mole of [tex]O_2[/tex] gas

Now we have to calculate the volume of oxygen gas.

As, 1 mole of oxygen gas contains 22400 ml volume of oxygen gas

So, [tex]5\times 10^{-3}[/tex] mole of oxygen gas contains [tex]22400ml\times (5\times 10^{-3})=112ml[/tex] volume of oxygen gas

Therefore, the volume of oxygen gas is, 112 ml
