Answer:
4804.5 g of SO₂ are needed to the reaction
Explanation:
The reaction to produce sulfuric acid is:
2SO₂ + O₂ + 2H₂O → 2H₂SO₄
Ratio is 1:2. 1 mol of oxygen needs 2 moles of sulfur dioxide in order to react. We can propose this rule of three.
If 1 mol of O₂ react to 2 moles of SO₂
Then, 37.50 moles of O₂ will react with (37.5 . 2) /1 = 75 moles of SO₂
We convert the moles to mass, to know the answer:
75 mol . 64.06 g / 1 mol = 4804.5 g of SO₂
