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

How many moles of S will form when 9.2 moles of H2S reacts with 4.8 moles 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
Step 1

Considering the given reaction:

 2 H2S(g) + SO2(g) → 3 S(s) + 2 H2O (g)

 2 mol        1 mol        3 mol     2 mol

According to the reaction:

2 mol of H2S react with 1 mol of SO2
