Correct answer: 875

  1. Given reaction

2SO2(g)+O2(g)→2SO3(g)2SO_2(g) + O_2(g) \rightarrow 2SO_3(g)2SO2​(g)+O2​(g)→2SO3​(g)

Initial partial pressures:

PSO2=250 mbar,PO2=750 mbar,PSO3=0P_{SO_2}=250\ \text{mbar},\quad P_{O_2}=750\ \text{mbar},\quad P_{SO_3}=0PSO2​​=250 mbar,PO2​​=750 mbar,PSO3​​=0

We assume constant temperature and volume, so partial pressure is proportional to moles.

  1. Find the limiting reactant

From the reaction:

2SO2:1O22SO_2 : 1O_22SO2​:1O2​

For 250250250 mbar of SO2SO_2SO2​, required O2O_2O2​ is:

PO2, required=12×250=125 mbarP_{O_2,\ required}=\frac{1}{2}\times 250=125\ \text{mbar}PO2​, required​=21​×250=125 mbar

Available O2O_2O2​ is 750750750 mbar, which is much larger than 125125125 mbar.

So, SO2SO_2SO2​ is the limiting reactant.

  1. Calculate pressure changes

If all 250250250 mbar of SO2SO_2SO2​ reacts:

  • SO2SO_2SO2​ consumed = 250250250 mbar
  • O2O_2O2​ consumed = 2502=125\frac{250}{2}=1252250​=125 mbar
  • SO3SO_3SO3​ formed = 250250250 mbar

Final partial pressures:

PSO2=250−250=0P_{SO_2}=250-250=0PSO2​​=250−250=0 PO2=750−125=625 mbarP_{O_2}=750-125=625\ \text{mbar}PO2​​=750−125=625 mbar PSO3=0+250=250 mbarP_{SO_3}=0+250=250\ \text{mbar}PSO3​​=0+250=250 mbar

  1. Total final pressure

Ptotal, final=0+625+250=875 mbarP_{\text{total, final}}=0+625+250=875\ \text{mbar}Ptotal, final​=0+625+250=875 mbar

  1. Final answer

875 mbar\boxed{875\ \text{mbar}}875 mbar​
