What volume of oxygen gas, in milliliters, is required to react with 0.640 g of SO2 gas at STP?


11.2 mL

22.4 mL

112 mL

224 m

Verified Answer :

Answer : The correct option is, 112 ml

Solution : Given,

Mass of \(SO_2\) = 0.640 g

Molar mass of \(SO_2\) = 64 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of \(SO_2\).

\(\text{Moles of }SO_2=\frac{\text{Mass of }SO_2}{\text{Molar mass of }SO_2}=\frac{0.640g}{64g/mole}=0.01moles\)

Now we have to calculate the moles of oxygen gas.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

\(2SO_2+O_2\rightarrow 2SO_3\)

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 moles of \(SO_2\) react with 1 mole of \(O_2\) gas

So, 0.01 moles of \(SO_2\) react with \(\frac{0.01}{2}=5\times 10^{-3}\) mole of \(O_2\) gas

Now we have to calculate the volume of oxygen gas.

As, 1 mole of oxygen gas contains 22400 ml volume of oxygen gas

So, \(5\times 10^{-3}\) mole of oxygen gas contains \(22400ml\times (5\times 10^{-3})=112ml\) volume of oxygen gas

Therefore, the volume of oxygen gas is, 112 ml
