What maximum mass of sulphur in kilograms could be produced?
Sulphur is used in the production of vulcanized rubber, detergents, dyes, pharmaceuticals, insecticides, and many other substances. The final step in the Claus method for making sulphur is #SO_2(g)+2H_2S(g) rarr 3S(s)+2H_2O(l)#
The first question asked to find the minimum volume of sulphur dioxide at STP that would be necessary to produce 82.5 kg of sulphur. I was able to calculate that #1.92*10^4 L SO_2# was necessary.
The second question is the one I am stuck at. What maximum mass of sulphur in kilograms could be produced by the reaction of #(1.3*10^4 )m^3# of #SO_2(g)# with #(2.5*10^4)m^3# of #H_2S(g)# , both at STP?
Maybe I am just overlooking something obvious, but I feel a bit lost with problem.
Thank you very much in advance.
