Solution
-
Sulfur is in Group 16 of the Periodic Table.
-
The reactants for this reaction are sulfur and oxygen. Their names and formulas are Sulfur (S) and Oxygen (O2).
-
The product of the reaction is sulfur dioxide. Its name and formula is Sulfur Dioxide (SO2).
-
The chemical equation for this reaction is: S + O2 → SO2
-
A reaction is balanced when the number of atoms of each element is the same on both the reactants and products side of the equation.
-
Yes, the reaction above is balanced. This is because there is one atom of sulfur and two atoms of oxygen on both sides of the equation.
-
A picture equation for this reaction would show one sulfur atom and two oxygen atoms on the reactant side, and one sulfur dioxide molecule on the product side. This visually represents the balanced chemical equation: S + O2 → SO2.

2. Sulphur dioxide gas, SO2 (g), when mixed with the air we breathe, can cause serious respiratory problems. The gas dissolves in the moisture in our lungs, creating an acid that causes burning in the lungs and throat. The World Health Organization (WHO) has set limits of 15.69 ppb (parts per billion) for an average 24-hour period. Many industrial processes, such as the smelting of metal ores, produce this gas. The air around a certain industrial plant was analyzed and found to have a concentration of SO2 of 23.85 ppb. If an average adult breathes in approximately 13.77 kg of air each day, what mass of SO2 would that person inhale?Ensure that units match.c = 23.85 ppbc = 23.85 g of SO 21 billion g of airSet up a ratio and solve.How many grams of SO 2 would be in 13.77 kg (13 770 g) of air?23.85 g of SO 2 is in 1 × 10 9 g of airx g of SO 2 is in 13 770 g of air23.85 = 1 x 10 9x 13770
The equation for the reaction is 2 Na S2 O3 (aq) + 2HCl(aq) o 2NaCl(aq) + H2 O(l) + S(s) + SO2 (g) Before starting her experiments, the student considers the risk to her of sulfur dioxide escaping from the flask. She uses this information. concentration of sodium thiosulfate solution = 0.300 mol/dm3 volume of sodium thiosulfate solution = 20 cm3 volume of water = 20 cm3 volume of hydrochloric acid = 10 cm3 The solubility of sulfur dioxide at room temperature is 100 g/dm3. Use this additional information to explain whether any sulfur dioxide gas escapes from the flask.
