Question
In a reaction FeS2 is oxidized by O2toFe2O3 and SO2 . If the equivalents of O2 consumed
are 'y' then the equivalents of FeS2 consumed and moles of 2 3 2 Fe O and SO produced are
respectively are

I'm having trouble knowing what you want. And what are you calling equivalents.
4FeS2 + 11O2 --> 2Fe2O3 + 8SO2
mols Fe2O3 produced = y mols FeS2 x (2 mols Fe2O3/4 mols FeS2) = y/2
mols SO2 produced y mols FeS2 x (8 mols SO2/4 mols Fe2O3) = 2y
4FeS2 + 11O2 --> 2Fe2O3 + 8SO2
mols Fe2O3 produced = y mols FeS2 x (2 mols Fe2O3/4 mols FeS2) = y/2
mols SO2 produced y mols FeS2 x (8 mols SO2/4 mols Fe2O3) = 2y
