Question

One method for removing hydrogen sulfide impurities from natural gas is by its reaction with oxygen at high temperatures to form sulfur and water vapor. After balancing the following equation, determine the coefficient in front of the reactant O2. H2S(g) + O2(g) → S8(l) + H2O(g) Group of answer choices

Answer 1

Answer:

4

Explanation:

H2S(g) + O2(g) → S8(l) + H2O(g)

Upon balancing the equation;

8H2S(g) + 4O2(g) → S8(l) + 8H2O(g)

The coefficient of O2 in the reaction above is 4.
