Sulfur trioxide, so3, is made industrially in enormous quantities by combining oxygen and sulfur dioxide, so2. what amount (moles) of so3 is represented by 3.00 kg of sulfur trioxide?

Respuesta :

The answer is 37.5 moles

The explanation:

1- when we have the mass of SO3 in Kg so, first we have to convert it to grams:

mass = 3 * 1000 = 3000 g

2- we need to get the molar mass of SO3 :

molar mass of SO3 = 32 + (16*3)

= 80 g/mol

3- then we can use this formula to get number of moles:

moles = mass / molar mass

= 3000 g / 80 g/mol

= 37.5 moles
