Consider the balanced equation. 8 cap h sub 2 plus cap s sub 8 rightarrow 8 cap h sub 2 cap s Based on the mole ratios, what can most likely be predicted?
Answer
A
8 mol of hydrogen will react with 8 mol of sulfur.
B
16 mol of hydrogen will react with 8 mol of sulfur.
C
1 mol of hydrogen will react with 1 mol of sulfur.
D
8 mol of hydrogen will react with 1 mol of sulfur.
Explanation
The balanced equation is 8 H₂ + S₈ → 8 H₂S. Its coefficients show that 8 moles of hydrogen gas react with 1 mole of S₈, so the correct prediction is “8 mol of hydrogen will react with 1 mol of sulfur.”
