8. Sulfur trìoxide decomposes to sulfur dioxide and oxygen gas as
shown in the following reaction:
2503 (g) 2502 (g) + O2 (g)
Given a 240.0 g sample of sulfur trioxide (MM = 80.1 g/mol), how many
grams of oxygen (MM = 32.0 g/mol) are produced, assuming the
decomposition goes to completion?
g
Your answer should be rounded to three significant figures. Do not include units in your
answer

Mass of Oxygen : 47.9

Given

2S03 (g)⇒ 2S02 (g) + O2 (g)

240 g SO3

Required

mass of Oxygen

Solution

mol SO3 :

= 240 g : 80.1 g/mol

= 2.996

From the equation, mol O2 :

= 1/2 x mol SO3

= 1/2 x 2.996

= 1.498

mass O2 :

= 1.498 mol x 32 g/mol

= 47.9

can you list the answers so i can answer

c is having 4 valence electrons and is bonded to three hydrogens and one sulphur atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to four. as all the valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, there is no lone pair left on carbon.

s is having 6 valence electrons and is bonded to one other sulfur atom and one carbon atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to 2. as only two valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, four electrons are left. therefore, two lone pairs are present on s.
