Determine the volume of SO2 (at STP) formed from the reaction of 96.7 g of FeS2 and 55.0 L of O2 (at 398 K and 1.20 atm). The molar mass of FeS2 is 119.99 g/mol. 4 FeS2(s) + 11 O2(g) → 2 Fe2O3(s) + 8 SO2(g)

Respuesta :

Answer:  32.9 Liters

Explanation:

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

[tex]\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}[/tex]

1. moles of [tex]FeS_2=\frac{96.7g}{119.99g/mol}=0.806mol[/tex]

2. moles of [tex]O_2[/tex]

[tex]PV=nRT[/tex]

P = pressure of the gas = 1.20  atm

R = Gas constant = [tex]0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}[/tex]

T = temperature of the gas = [tex]398K[/tex]

[tex]1.20\times 55.0=n\times 0.0821\times 398[/tex]

[tex]n=2.02[/tex]

[tex]4FeS_2(s)+11O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3(s)+8SO_2(g)[/tex]

According to stoichiometry:

11 moles of oxygen reacts with 4 moles of [tex]FeS_2[/tex]

Thus 2.02 moles of oxygen reacts with =[tex]\frac{4}{11}\times 2.02=0.73[/tex] moles of [tex]FeS_2[/tex]

Thus oxygen acts as limiting reagent and [tex]FeS_2[/tex] is excess reagent.

As 11 moles of oxygen gives = 8 moles of [tex]SO_2[/tex]

2.02 moles of oxygen gives =[tex]\frac{8}{11}\times 2.02=1.47[/tex] moles of [tex]SO_2[/tex]

[tex]PV=nRT[/tex]

P = pressure of the gas = 1  atm (at STP)

R = Gas constant = [tex]0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}[/tex]

T = temperature of the gas = [tex]273K[/tex]   (at STP)

[tex]1\times V=1.47\times 0.0821\times 273[/tex]

[tex]V=32.9L[/tex]

Thus volume of [tex]SO_2[/tex] (at STP) formed from the reaction is 32.9 L

The volume of SO₂ formed from the reaction at STP is 32.92 L

From the question,

We are to determine the volume of SO₂ formed from the reaction

The given balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

4FeS₂(s) + 11O₂(g) → 2Fe₂O₃(s) + 8SO₂(g)

This means,

4 moles of FeS₂ reacts with 11 moles of oxygen to produce 2 moles of Fe₂O₃ and 8 moles of SO₂

First, we will determine the number of moles of each reactant present

  • For FeS₂

Mass = 96.7 g

From the formula

[tex]Number\ of\ moles =\frac{Mass}{Molar\ mass}[/tex]

Molar mass of FeS₂ = 119.99 g/mol

∴ Number of moles of FeS₂ present =[tex]\frac{96.7}{119.99}[/tex]

Number of moles of FeS₂ present = 0.8059 mole

  • For O₂

Using the formula

PV = nRT

[tex]n =\frac{PV}{RT}[/tex]

Putting the given parameters into the formula, we get

[tex]n = \frac{1.2 \times 55.0}{0.08206 \times 398}[/tex]

[tex]n = \frac{66}{32.65988}[/tex]

n = 2.0208 moles

Since,

4 moles of FeS₂ reacts with 11 moles of oxygen to produce 8 moles of SO₂

Then,

[tex]\frac{2.0208 \times 4}{11}[/tex] moles of FeS₂ will react with 2.0208 moles of oxygen to produce [tex]\frac{2.0208 \times 4}{11} \times 2[/tex]  moles of SO₂

That is,

0.7348 moles of FeS₂ will react with 2.0208 moles of oxygen to produce 1.4697 moles of SO₂

∴ Number of moles of SO₂ formed is 1.4697 moles

Now for the volume of SO₂ formed at STP

Since

1 mole of a gas has a volume of 22.4 L at STP

Then

1.4697 moles of the SO₂ will have a volume of 1.4697 × 22.4 L

1.4697 × 22.4 L = 32.92L

Hence, the volume of SO₂ formed from the reaction at STP is 32.92 L
