1. Determine the volume of SO2 (at STP) formed from the reaction of 96.7 mol FeS2 and 55.0 L of O2 at 348 K and 1.20 atm. 4 FeS2(s) + 11O2(g)  2Fe2O3(s) + 8SO2(g)

40.0L of SO2 are produced

Explanation:

To solve this question we need to find the moles of O2 using PV = nRT in order to find the moles. Thus, we can find the limiting reactant and the moles (And volume) of SO2 produced as follows:

Moles O2:

n = PV/RT

n = 1.20atm*55.0L / 0.082atmL/molK*358K

n = 2.25 moles of O2.

Clearly, limiting reactant is O2.

The moles of SO2 produced are:

2.25 moles of O2 * (8mol SO2 / 11mol O2) = 1.6351 moles SO2

Volume SO2:

V = nRT/P

V = 1.6351 moles SO2*0.082atmL/molK*358K / 1.20atm

V = 40.0L of SO2 are produced

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.
