The process of manufacturing sulfuric acid begins with the burning of sulfur. what mass of sulfur would have to be burned in order to produce 1.00 kg of h2so4 ? assume that all of the sulfur ends up in the sulfuric acid.

about 327 g of sulfur

Explanation:

Reaction equations.

2S + 2O2 = 2SO2

2SO2 + O2 = 2SO3

2SO3 + 2H2O = 2H2SO4

1.00 kg H2SO4 (1000 g H2SO4 / 1kg H2SO4) x (1 mole H2SO4 / 98.079 g H2SO4) x

(1 mole S / 1 mole H2SO4) x (32.065 g S / 1 mole S)

= 326.93 g S needed to be burned to produce 1.00 kg of H2SO4
