GIVEN: Sulfuric acid is produced in industry via a multistep method called the contact process. The overall reaction is given by the following chemical equation:
2S(s) + 302(g) + 2H,0(1) -+ 2H,SO.(ag)
The reaction is an important industrial one. Sulfuric acid forms the basis for the production of a host of other chemicals. About 50% of sulfuric acid produced is used in the production of fertilizers. Many of these are highly insoluble phosphate-based fertilizers in which sulfuric acid forms a solvent. World annual production of sulfuric acid in 2018 exceeded 270 million tons.
In a small-scale production of sulfuric acid, 192 g of S(s) was reacted with 134.4
L of 02(g) at STP and 6 moles of H,O(1). This yielded 275 g of H,SO (aq).

QUESTION: For the small-scale production of sulfuric acid, calculate the number of moles of the remaining reactants given. Identify the limiting reagent and defend your response,
