Question

How many moles of o2 are in the chemical equation when balanced using the lowest whole numbers?

Accepted Answer

Hello everyone in this question we're asked to identify the coefficient of sulfur dioxide after the equation has been balanced. So let's write this out. We have S. N. S. Fallen Plus 0. 2 gas. MS. Gonna U. S. N. O. Colin sl two. Yes. And now for the elements on both sides of the equation, we're gonna have 10 sulfur and oxygen. We have 1 10 on the reacting side, one sulfur and two oxygen On the products that we have 1 one sulfur and three oxygen. So if you put it to in front of S. N. O. This means we're gonna have to 10 on the product side. And for oxygen. So then we would need to put a two in front of 02 To balance it on both sides. And I will have four oxygen on the racket and four on the product side did this before. And then we need to put it to in front of S. And S. So then we have 2 10 and to sulfur on the reacting side. Yes we have two sofa on the reacting side. We need to put a two in front of S. 02. This will give us two sulfur on the product side as well. So now we have to Plus four which is six oxygen. So if we change this into a three, we're gonna have six oxygen on both sides. So we have to 10 on both sides to sulfur and six oxygen. And this is a balanced equation. So the coefficient of sulfur dioxide is going to be too and it's going to be C. Thanks for watching my video, and I hope it was helpful.
