Consider the following reaction: 10 KNO3(s) + 8 C(s) + 3 S(s) → 2 K2CO3(s) + 3 K,SO:(s) + 6 CO2(g) + 5 N2(g) If you mix 0.75 kg of KNO3 with 0.75 kg of sulfur in the presence of excess carbon and the reaction proceeds with 55% yield, what mass of gas-phase products (i.e., CO2 plus N2) will leave the reaction mixture? Show complete work including all calculations, units, appropriate significant figures, and 1-5 key words of explanation at each step of your calculation.
