[ProblemSets]

Which of the following is an INCORRECT interpretation of the balanced equation shown below?

2S(s) + 3O2(g) ----> 2SO3(g)



a.) 2 mol S + 3 mol O2 ----> 2 mol SO3
b.) 2 atoms S + 3 molecules O2 ----> 2 molecules SO3
c.) 2 g S + 3 g O2 ----> 2 g SO3
d.)none of the above

Do you understand that different elements have different atomic masses?

 

[ProblemSets]

i think that the answer is c?

 

[symbolipoint]

i think that the answer is c?

...Why? ...

 

[ProblemSets]

coefficients symbolize the number of moles so A would be correct.

Then I am not 100% sure about B cause the molecules seem to be right but I am not sure about the atoms of S and if that is a correct interpretation.

And for C, I don't think that the coefficients can stand for grams cause there are multiple grams in a mole.

How is my thinking?
