Hydrogen sulfide reacts with oxygen according to the equation:
2H2S+3O2→2SO2+2H2O2\text{H}_2\text{S} + 3\text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{SO}_2 + 2\text{H}_2\text{O}2H2S+3O2→2SO2+2H2O
Two mixtures of the gases were made. The reaction went to completion in each mixture. All gas volumes, including the sulfur dioxide produced, were measured at the same temperature and pressure.
| Mixture | Volume of hydrogen sulfide (cm3\text{cm}^3cm3) | Volume of oxygen (cm3\text{cm}^3cm3) |
|---|---|---|
| A | 180 | 240 |
| B | 120 | 240 |
Determine which mixture produces the greater volume of sulfur dioxide, and by how much.
