So for this problem, we're given some chemical reaction that includes the production of sulfur dioxide, and we want to find how much sulfur in tons would result in that quantity being produced.
00:11
So we have this chemical reaction, and we know that 26 million tons of so2 were produced.
00:24
So there's a simple way of solving this problem and a much more difficult and complex way of solving this, and for this one we're going to go for the more simple way, and simply not.
00:34
Look at necessarily the numbers but simply the ratios to help us get the final answer.
00:39
So we know that the mole to mole to ratio of sulfur to s .o .2 is one to one.
00:45
So that's not going to be a concern in this problem.
00:47
We know that the quantity is not the concern because as we see the chemical equation, one mole of sulfur corresponds to one mole of sulfur dioxide.
00:56
However, what is going to make the difference is the tons of s .o .2 and the tons of sulfur.
01:04
Because 1 ton of sulfur is very different from 1 ton of so2 because they have different molar masses...
