4 FeS(s) + 7 O2(g) --> 2 Fe2O3(s) + 4 SO2(g)

Due to the presence of FeS(s) as an impurity, the combustion of some types of coal results in the formation of SO2(g), as represented by the equation above. Also, SO2(g) can react with O3(g) to form SO3(g), as represented by the equation below.

SO2(g) + O3(g) <--> SO3(g) + O2(g)

Determine the limiting reactant and calculate the theoretical yield of SO2 when 2.0 mol of FeS(s) reacts with 4.0 mol of O2(g).

Limiting Reactant: FeS(s)

Theoretical Yield: 2.0 mol SO2(g)

ending pH would be lower

equivalence point would occur at a lower volume of HCl added

NO(g) + NO3(g) --> 2 NO2(g)

rate = k[NO][NO3]

The reaction represented above occurs in a single step that involves the collision between a particle of NO and a particle of NO3. A scientist correctly calculates the rate of collisions between NO and NO3 that have sufficient energy to overcome the activation energy. The observed reaction rate is only a small fraction of the calculated collision rate. What could explain the discrepancy besides a high activation energy? 

The two reactant particles must collide with a particular orientation in order to react.
