When 3.00 g of sulfur are combined with 3.00 g of oxygen, 6.00 g of sulfur dioxide (so2) are formed. what mass of oxygen would be required to convert 7.00 g of sulfur into sulfur trioxide (so3)?

Actually, we can answer the problem even without the first statement. All we have to do is write the reaction for the production of sulfur trioxide.

2 S + 3 O₂ → 2 SO₃

The stoichiometric calculations is as follows:

7 g S * 1 mol/32.06 g S = 0.218 mol S
Moles O₂ needed = 0.218 mol S * 3 mol O₂/2 mol S = 0.3275 mol O₂
Since the molar mas of O₂ is 32 g/mol,
Mass of O₂ needed = 0.3275 mol O₂ * 32 g/mol = 10.48 g O₂
