S8 + 12O2 = 8SO3.Since there are 8 sulfur on the left, you must have 8 on the right, so 8SO3. Now you have 24 oxygen on the right, so you need 24 on the left. Multiplying O2 by 12 balances it.
This could never happen Hydrogen Peroxide is madeby the process known as the Riedl-Pfleiderer process, having been first discovered by them in 1936. The overall equation for the process is simple:H2 + O2 → H2O2The economics of the process depend heavily on effective recycling of the quinone (which is very expensive) and extraction solvents, and of the hydrogenationcatalyst.
The number written in front of a chemical formula is called the coefficient. This represents the number of molecules of the substance in the chemical formula. For example, 8SO3 tells you that there are 8 molecules of SO3 or sulfur trioxide.
