The maximum mass of sulfurous acid that can be formed is 32.54 grams.

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

SO₂ + H₂O → H₂SO₃

By stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of each compound participate in the reaction:

SO₂: 1 moleH₂O: 1 moleH₂SO3: 1 mole

Being the molar masses of each compound:

SO₂: 64 g/moleH₂O: 18 g/moleH₂SO₃: 82 g/mole

Then, by stoichiometry the following quantities of mass participate in the reaction:

SO₂: 1 mole* 64 g/mole= 64 gH₂O: 1 mole* 18 g/mole= 18 gH₂SO₃: 1 mole* 82 g/mole=82 g

The limiting reagent is one that is consumed first in its entirety, determining the amount of product in the reaction. When the limiting reagent is finished, the chemical reaction will stop.

To determine the limiting reagent, you can use a simple rule of three as follows: If 18 grams of water react with 64 grams of sulfur dioxide, how much mass of sulfur dioxide does 11.6 grams of water react with?

$mass of sulfur dioxide=\frac{11.6 grams of water*64 grams of sulfur dioxide}{18 grams of water}$

mass of sulfur dioxide= 41.24 grams

But 41.24 grams of sulfur dioxide are not available, 25.4 grams are available. Since you have less mass than you need to react with 11.6 grams of water, sulfur dioxide will be the limiting reagent.

Then you can apply the following rule of three: if by reaction stoichiometry 64 grams of sulfur dioxide produce 82 grams of sulfurous acid, 25.4 grams of sulfur dioxide, how much mass of sulfurous acid will it produce?

$mass of sulfurous acid=\frac{25.4 grams of sulfur doixide*82 grams of sulfurous acid}{64 grams of sulfur doixide}$

mass of sulfurous acid= 32.54 grams

The maximum mass of sulfurous acid that can be formed is 32.54 grams.

Aphysical change is one that you can put in and remove like a ham sandwich. the stuff you put in there can be changem its not permanet. a chemical change is on that can't be change thats permanet. like when you make a cake and bake it. you can't get those ingredients back.

Problem page combustion of hydrocarbons such as pentane ( c5 h12 ) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere can trap the sun's heat, raising the average temperature of the earth. for this reason there has been a great deal of international discussion about whether to regulate the production of carbon dioxide.(a) write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the combustion of liquid pentane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water. (b) suppose 0.350 kg of pentane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1 atm and a temperature of 20.0 degree c. calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced. be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
