Strike anywhere matches contain the compound tetraphosphorus trisulfide, which burns to form tetraphosphorus decaoxide and sulfur dioxide gas. how many milliliters of sulfur dioxide, measured at 747 torr and 23.8°c, can be produced from burning 0.576 g of tetraphosphorus trisulfide?

194.6 mL of SO₂

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

P₄S₃ + 6O₂(g) → P₄O₁₀ + 3SO₂(g)

To solve this problem we need to use PV=nRT, so first let's convert the given units:

We need to calculate V, so in order to do that we calculate n, using the mass of the reactant (P₄S₃):

0.576 g P₄S₃ * = 7.85 * 10⁻³ mol SO₂ = n

PV=nRT

0.983 atm * V =  7.85 * 10⁻³ mol * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 296.95 K

V = 0.1946 L

0.1946 * 1000 = 194.6 mL
