Explanation / Answer

2 SO2 (g) + O2 (g) ------> 2 SO3 (g)

number of moles of SO2 = 128g/64g/mol = 2 moles

number of moles of O2 = 96g/32g/mol = 3 moles

2 moles of SO2 requires 1 mole of O2 according to equation then

So2 is limiting rreagent and O2 is excess reagent.

2 moles of SO2 produces 2 moles of SO3 then,

mass of SO3 formed = 2 * 80 = 160 g

remaining excess reagent = 3 - 1 = 2 moles

mass of O2 remaining = 2 mol * 32 g/mol = 64 g
