Answer:
So, the right answer is
No. of moles of FeS₂ = 0.25 mole
Explanation:
From the balanced
4 FeS2 + 11 O2 → 2 Fe2O3 + 8 SO2
it is clear that 4 mol FeS₂ react with O₂ to give Fe₂O₃ and 8 mol of SO₂
First, we have to convert mass of SO₂ into No. of moles as following:
SO₂ has molar mass = 64 g/mol
No. of moles of SO₂ = (mass / molar mass) = (32 g / 64 g/mol) = 0.5 mol
we know that
4 mol FeS₂ gives→ 8 mol of SO₂
1 mol FeS₂ gives→ 2 mol of SO₂
??? mol FeS₂ gives→ 0.5 mol of SO₂
No. of moles of FeS₂ = (0.5 mol * 1 mol ) / 2 mol = 0.25 mol
So, the right answer is
No. of moles of FeS₂ = 0.25 mol
