Chemistry

Sulfur dioxide and oxygen react exothermically according to thethermochemical equation shown below. Calculate the maximum amountof heat that could be released if 15.0 g of O2 gas is allowed toreact with 13.4 L of SO2 gas at 1.00 atm and 15°C. (CAUTION: Thisproblem may not be as simple as it looks. So please think about itbefore you start working.) 2 SO2(g) + O2(g) → 2 SO3(g) ΔH° = –198kJ
