Consider the following reaction at STP: 2 H2S(g) + SO2(g) → 3 S(s) + 2 H2O(g)

How many liters of H2O will form when 0.918 g of H2S reacts with 0.768 g of SO2?
Identify the limiting reagent: Identify the excess reagent:
How many moles of the excess reagent will remain after the reaction is finished?

Expert Solution
Data given:

Balanced chemical equation for reaction between hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide:

2H2S(g) + SO2 (g)    3S(s)  + 2H2O(g)

This reaction takes place at STP conditions.

Mass of H2S reacting = 0.918 g

Mass of SO2 reacting = 0.786 g

To determine:

a. Which one is limiting and excess reagent.

b. The number of moles of excess reagent that will remain after reaction is finished.
