4 moles each of \(\mathrm{SO}_{2}\) and \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\) gases are allowed to react to form \(\mathrm{SO}_{3}\) in a closed vessel. At equilibrium \(25 \%\) of \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\) is used up. The total number of moles of all the gases present at equilibrium is

  1. A \(6.5\)
  2. B \(7.0\)
  3. C \(8.0\)
  4. D \(2.0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(7.0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} &\begin{array}{lccc} & 2 \mathrm{SO}_{2}+\mathrm{O}_{2} \rightleftharpoons & 2 \mathrm{SO}_{3} \\ \text { Initially } & 4 \text { moles } & 4 \text { moles } & 0 \\ \text { At equili. } & (4-2) & (4-0.25 \times 4) & 2 \\ & =2 & =3 & \end{array}\\ &\therefore…
