Sulfur dioxide and molecular oxygen react to formSO 3 according to the following

Question

Sulfur dioxide and molecular oxygen react to formSO3 according to the following equation:
2SO2 + O2 <================>2SO3
In one experiment, 2.00 mol SO2 and 2.00mol O2 were initially present in a flask. If 1.76 molesof SO3 formed at equilibrium, the amount ofSO2 and O2 wouldbe?????
