Explanation / Answer

A) The reaction is as follows:

4 FeS2 + 11 O2 2 Fe2O3 + 8 SO2 .

B) Firstly, convert 55L of Oxygen to the estimated volume at STP.

Therefore,

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2.

1.2*55/398 = 1*V/273

V= 45.27L.

We know that 480g of FeS2 reacts with 11*22.4L of Oxygen to give 8 moles of Sulphur Dioxide.

11*22.4L Oxygen reacts with 88g of FeS2 ONLY. Thus, Oxygen is the limiting reagent in this question. So, earlier 11*22.4L oxygen gave 8 moles of SO2. Now, 45.27L oxygen will give = 8*45.27/(11*22.4) moles of SO2 = 1.46 moles of SO2.
