Consider the reaction between reactants S and \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\):
\(2 \mathrm{~S}(\mathrm{~s})+3 \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{SO}_{3}(g)\)
If a reaction vessel initially contains 5 mol S and 9 mol \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\), how many moles of S, \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\), and \(\mathrm{SO}_{3}\) will be in the reaction vessel after the reactants have reacted as much as possible? (Assume 100% actual yield.)

QUESTION:
Consider the reaction between reactants S and \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\):
\(2 \mathrm{~S}(\mathrm{~s})+3 \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{SO}_{3}(g)\)
If a reaction vessel initially contains 5 mol S and 9 mol \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\), how many moles of S, \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\), and \(\mathrm{SO}_{3}\) will be in the reaction vessel after the reactants have reacted as much as possible? (Assume 100% actual yield.)
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 3
We have given the chemical reaction
\(2 \mathrm{~S}(\mathrm{~s})+3 \mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{SO}_{3}(\mathrm{~g})\)
And
\(\begin{array}{l}5 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~S}\\
9 \mathrm{mol \ O}_{2}\end{array}\)
Actual yield = 100%
We have to find: mols S, mols \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\), mols \(\mathrm{SO}_{3}\)
