MHB Stoichiometry question in chemistry

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a stoichiometry question involving the reaction of sulfur dioxide and oxygen to produce sulfur trioxide. The equation provided is 2SO₂(g) + O₂ → 2SO₃(g). Participants are asked to calculate the volume of sulfur trioxide formed from 10.0 dm³ of sulfur dioxide and 6.0 dm³ of oxygen. A user acknowledges that the question is identical to a previously posted one, indicating a potential oversight. The thread highlights the importance of checking existing discussions before posting similar queries.

Hi,
10.0 dm³ of sulfur dioxide is reacted with 6.0 dm³ of oxygen according to equation below.
2SO₂(g) + O₂ → 2SO₃(g)

What volume of sulfur trioxide in dm³ is formed?

Hello,
Oh, I am very sorry. I asked the same question again.
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
