Q.

What is the mass of Sulphur produced by 1 mole of SO2 and 1 mole of H2which react completely to form 2 mole of H2and 3 moles of S?

SO2 +  2H2    2H2O  +  3S 

(Atomic mass of S = 32, O = 16)

The given chemical reaction produces 48g of Sulphur.

1 mole of SO2 and 2 moles of H2S react completely to form,
  SO2 +  2H2    2H2O  +  3S 

When 2 mol of H2S   react with 1 mole of  SO2 , give 3 mol of S, but we are given 1 mol of H2Sand 1 mole of SO2.

Hence, H2S is a limiting reagent, i.e. a reagent wholly consumed in a reaction which limits the amount of product that will be formed and hence determines the amount of product produced.
So, 1 mole of H2S will give 32mol of S.

Hence,  mass of sulphur will be,
 ( 32mol) × (32g/mol)
 48g

So, the mass of sulphur that is produced is 48 g.
