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?
ANSWER:
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
