Question

At a certain temperature, 0.640 mol SO3 is placed in a 2.50 L container.

 

2SO3 (g)↽−−⇀2SO2 (g)+O2 (g)

 

At equilibrium, 0.190 mol O2 is present. Calculate ?c.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Sulfur trioxide decomposes into sulfur dioxide and oxygen. The equation for the balanced chemical reaction is given below:

2SO3 g 2SO2 g + O2 g

The initial mole of SO3 is = 0.640

The volume of the container is = 2.50 L

The moles of O2 present at equilibrium is = 0.190 mol
