Chapter 9, Problem 46E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

In the unbalanced chemical reaction, ${\text{SO}}_{\text{2}}\left(g\right)+{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}\left(g\right)\to {\text{SO}}_{\text{3}}\left(g\right)$, the volume of sulfur dioxide gas which will react with $\text{25}\text{.0}\text{L}{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

According to Avogadro’s hypothesis, at same pressure and temperature conditions, equal volume of the gases contains same amount of gas particles. At standard temperature and pressure conditions, $\text{1}\text{mol}$ of gas occupies a volume equal to $\text{22}\text{.4}\text{L}$.
