Answer:
Mass = 12.48 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of sulfur dioxide = 25.0 g
Mass of sulfur formed = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
SO₂ → S + O₂
Number of moles of SO₂:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 25.0 g / 64.07 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.39 mol
Now we will compare the moles of SO₂ with S.
SO₂ : S
1 : 1
0.39 : 0.39
Mass of sulfur:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 0.39 mol × 32 g/mol
Mass = 12.48 g
