How many grams of o3 (ozone) are produced when 3.5 moles of oxygen react with sunlight?

Respuesta :

This problem is asking for the grams of ozone that are produced from 3.5 moles of oxygen as it reacts with sunlight. At the end, the result turns out to be 112 g.

Stoichiometry

In chemistry, stoichiometry is a widely-used tool we use in order to relate the mass and moles of different chemical substances involved in a chemical reaction. In such a way, for this problem, one must consider the following chemical equation between ozone and oxygen:

[tex]3O_2\rightarrow 2O_3[/tex]

In such a way, our stoichiometric setup must include a 2:3 mole ratio of oxygen to ozone and the molar mass of the latter as 48 g/mol in order to convert its moles to grams as required:

[tex]3.5molO_2*\frac{2molO_3}{3molO_2}*\frac{48.0gO_3}{1molO_3}\\ \\ =112gO_3[/tex]
