Explanation

(a) S\(_{(g)}\) + O\(_{2(g)}\)  --> SO\(_{2(g)}\)

(b) At s.t.p. 22400 cm\(^3\) SO\(_2\) is produced with 22400cm\(^3\)O\(_2\)

i.e 1cm\(^3\) SO\(_2\) will be produced with 1cm\(^3\) O\(_2\)

50cm\(^3\) SO\(_2\) will be produced with 50cm\(^3\) O\(_2\)

(c) Avogadro's Law is applicable in (b) above. Avogadro's Law states that equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure must contain the same number of molecules
