Question

Problem 81P

An atmospheric chemist studying the pollutant SO2 places a mixture of SO2 and O2 in a 2.00-L container at 800. K and 1.90 atm. When the reaction occurs, gaseous SO3 forms, and the pressure falls to 1.65 atm. How many moles of SO3 form?

Solution

Solution 81P

Here we have to calculate how many moles of SO3 has formed.

Step 1

Given:

The chemical equation for the formation of gaseous SO3 is given below,

2SO2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2SO3 (g)

Volume of container = 2.00 L

Temperature = 800 K
