Title: What is the total pressure in the flask once the limiting reactant is completely consumed? Post by: tommyt_ on Sep 15, 2012 Assume a constant temperature and volume and a 100% reaction yield.
Consider the following reaction: 2 SO2 (g) +O2 (g) => 2 SO3 (g) A reaction flask initially contains 1.0 atm of SO2 and 1.0 atm of O2. Title: What is the total pressure in the flask once the limiting reactant is completely consumed? Post by: tommy_gun on Sep 15, 2012 SO2 is the limitng reactant : 2.0 atm are needed
O2 is in excess pressure O2 = 1.0/2 = 0.5 pressure SO3 = 1.0 total pressure = 1.0 + 0.5 = 1.5 atm |
