Answer:
Mass = 3.84 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of hydrogen sulfide = 2.7 g
Mass of oxygen required = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
2H₂S + 3O₂ → 2H₂O + 2SO₂
Number of moles of hydrogen sulfide:
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
Number of moles = 2.7 g / 34 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.08 mol
Now we will compare the moles of hydrogen sulfide with oxygen.
H₂S : O₂
2 : 3
0.08 : 3/2 ×0.08 = 0.12 mol
Mass of oxygen;
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 0.12 mol × 32 g/mol
Mass = 3.84 g
