What is the maximum mass of s8 that can be produced by combining 77.0 g of each reactant?

8so2 + 16h2s > s8 + 16h2o

Answer;

=98.98g of S8

Solution and explanation;

The equation for the reaction is;

8 SO2 + 16 H2S → 3 S8 + 16 H2O

Therefore;

Moles of SO2

(77.0 g SO2) / (64 g SO2/mol) = 1.203 moles

Moles of H2S

(77.0 g H2S) / (34 g H2S/mol) = 2.26 moles

2.26 moles of H2S would react completely with 2.26 x (3/16) = 0.424 moles SO2, but there is more SO2 present than that, which means that SO2 is in excess and H2S is the limiting reactant.

1.203 moles SO2 yields 3/8x amount that is = 0.456moles of S8 , thus

2.06moles H2S yields 3/16x amount = 0.386moles of S8

Hence ;

H2S will produce only 0.386moles of S8 that is equivalent to 98.98g of S8

tsd is temerature dependent sex determination.

tsd: it is a type of environmental sex determination in which the temperature experienced during embryonic/ larval development (ambient temperature for development) determine the sex of the offspring.

crocodile displays the tsd where the ambient temperature of the developing egg determines the individual's sex. for example in the american alligator's eggs, incubation at 33 ºc produces mostly males, while incubation at 30 ºc produces mostly females. so if the american alligator's egg will get the ambient temperature (33 degree celcius)during embryonic development from egg, the offspring will be male and same for the female sex determination.
