Here in this problem given in the formation of acid, sulfur dioxide reacts with oxygen and water in the air to form sulfuric acid.
00:09
First, we have to write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction.
00:14
And then we have to find out if 2 .50 grams of so2 reacts with excess oxygen and water, then we have to find out how much is to so4 in grams is produced.
00:26
First we'll write the equation.
00:28
Here is sulfur dioxide reacts with oxygen and water to produce sulfuric acid h2 -s -o -4.
00:41
Now we have two hydrogen atoms on this side and on the reactant side also two hydrogen atoms.
00:55
One sulfur, one sulfur, that's fine.
00:58
But the oxygen on the reactant side has 2 plus 2, 4 plus 1, 5.
01:05
And on the product side, 4.
01:07
So let's increase in this side.
01:10
So we'll place 2.
01:11
Now we have 8 oxygen atoms and 2 sulfur atoms...
