![**Stoichiometry Problem: Sulfur Reaction with Nitric Acid**
Consider the following balanced chemical equation:
\[ \text{S} + 6 \text{HNO}_3 \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 + 6 \text{NO}_2 + 2 \text{H}_2\text{O} \]
The problem to solve is:
**Question:** In the above equation, how many moles of \( \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \) can be made when 46 moles of \( \text{HNO}_3 \) are consumed?
**Solution Explanation:**
1. **Identify the Mole Ratio:**
From the balanced chemical equation, we see that the mole ratio between \( \text{HNO}_3 \) and \( \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \) is 6:1. This means that for every 6 moles of \( \text{HNO}_3 \) consumed, 1 mole of \( \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \) is produced.
2. **Calculate the Moles of \( \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \):**
We are given 46 moles of \( \text{HNO}_3 \). To find out how many moles of \( \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \) are produced, we use the mole ratio from the balanced equation.
\[ \frac{46 \text{ moles } \text{HNO}_3}{6} = \text{7.67 moles of } \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \]
Therefore, 7.67 moles of \( \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \) can be made when 46 moles of \( \text{HNO}_3 \) are consumed.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fee54b90d-e4d6-4f72-b48d-d71475e94862%2Fb39a3433-3110-4711-983f-c066d913a7e9%2F8lupg5j_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
