Calculate the amount of oxygen required to react with 160 g of sulfur. What mass of sulfur oxide is formed?

The combustion reaction of sulfur is described by the following chemical reaction equation:

S + O2 = SO2;

One mole of oxygen reacts with one mole of sulfur.

The molar mass of sulfur is 32 grams / mol.

Let’s find the amount of the substance contained in 160 grams of sulfur:

N S = 160/32 = 5.0 mol;

The same number of moles of oxygen will be required.

1 mole of ideal gas under normal conditions takes a volume of 22.4 liters

The oxygen volume will be:

V O2 = 5.0 x 22.4 = 112 liters;
