When a mixture of 10 moles of `SO_(2)` and 15 moles of `O_(2)` was passed over catalyst, 8 moles of `SO_(3)` was formed. How many moles of `SO_(2)` and `O_(2)` did not enter into combination?

Answer» `underset("2 mol")(2SO_(2))+underset("1 mol")(O_(2))rarrunderset("2 mol")(2SO_(3))`
2 moles of `SO_(3)` are formed from `SO_(2)=2` mol
8 moles of `SO_(3)` are formed from `SO_(2)=8` mol
`:.` Moles of `SO_(2)` left unreacted `= (10-8)=2 mol`
2 moles of `SO_(3)` are formed from `O_(2)=1` mol
8 moles of `SO_(3)` are formed from `O_(2)=4` mol
`:.` Moles of `O_(2)` left unreacted `= 15 - 4 = 11 mol`.
