6 moles of o₂ react. assume you have more than enough h₂s to react with it. how many moles of so₂ are produced?

a) 1 mole
b) 2moles
c) 4moles
d) 6moles
e) cannot be determined

C) 4moles

Explanation:

Let's consider the following balanced equation.

2 H₂S(g) + 3 O₂(g) → 2 SO₂(g) + 2 H₂O(g)

The molar ratio of O₂(g) to SO₂(g) is 3:2. The moles of SO₂(g) produced from the reaction of 6 moles of O₂(g) are:

6 mol O₂(g) × (2 mol SO₂(g)/ 3 mol O₂(g)) = 4 mol SO₂(g)

When 6 moles of O₂(g) react with more than enough H₂S(g), 4 moles of SO₂(g) are produced.

c is having 4 valence electrons and is bonded to three hydrogens and one sulphur atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to four. as all the valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, there is no lone pair left on carbon.

s is having 6 valence electrons and is bonded to one other sulfur atom and one carbon atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to 2. as only two valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, four electrons are left. therefore, two lone pairs are present on s.
