Complete the following stoichiometric problems. Communicate your problem-solving approach using internationally accepted symbols for elements, quantities, numbers, and units. 1. The first step in the industrial manufacture of sulfuric acid is the complete combustion of octasulfur, S8 s!. "hat mass of octasulfur is required to produce 11# $ of sulfur dio%ide at ST&' S8(s) + 8 O2(g) 8 SO2(g) m 112 L 256.48 g/mol 22.4 L/mol 1 mol nSO2 = 112 L SO 2 = 5.00 mol 22.4 L 1 nS8 = 5.00 mol = 0.625 mol 8 256.48 g mS8 = 0.625 mol = 160 g 1 mol or 1 mol S 8 256.48 g S 8 1 mol SO 2 m Ag = 112 L = 160 g 22.4 L SO 2 8 mol SO 2 1 mol S 8 #. Coal can undergo an incomplete combustion in the absence of a plentiful supply of air to produce deadly carbon mono%ide gas.

The first recorded observation of hydrogen gas was made by the famous alchemist &aracelsus when he added iron to sulfuric acid. Calculate the volume of hydrogen gas at ST& produced by adding 1*.* g of iron to an e%cess of sulfuric acid. 2 Fe(s) + 3 H2SO4( !) 3 H2(g) + Fe2(SO4)3( !) 10.0 g V 55.85 g/mol 22.4 L/mol
