The volume of SO2 produced at 325k is calculated as below
calculate the moles of SO2 produced which is calculated as follows
write the reacting equation
K2SO3 +2 HCl = 2KCl +H2O+ SO2
find the moles of HCl used
=mass/molar mass = 15g/ 36.5 g/mol =0.411 moles
by use of mole ratio between HCl to SO2 which is 2:1 the moles of SO2 is therefore = 0.411 /2 =0.206 moles of SO2
use the idea gas equation to calculate the volume SO2
that is V=nRT/P
where n=0.206 moles
R(gas constant) = 0.082 L.atm/ mol.k
T=325 K
P=1.35 atm
V=(0.206 moles x 0.082 L.atm/mol.k x325 k)/1.35 atm = 4.07 L of SO2
