Chapter 3, Problem 153AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The amount of ${\text{H}}_2{\text{SO}}_4$ produced in tons is to be calculated with given mass of sulfur dioxide.

Concept introduction:

Molar mass is calculated by adding masses of each and every element multiplied by their number of atoms (given in subscript). Its S.I. unit is $\text{g}/\text{mol}$.

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of mass to the molar mass:

$n=\frac{m}{M}$

Here, $n$ is the number of moles, $m$ is the mass, and $M$ is the molar mass.

The mass of compound can be calculated as $m=n\times M$.

Here, $n$ is the number of moles, $m$ is the mass, and $M$ is the molar mass.
