PLEASE HELP!

Answer 1

Answer:

49.54 g

Explanation:

Let's take the masses of both calcium sulfate and sulfur dioxide formed.

Sulfur dioxide = 32 + 2(16) = 64 g

Calcium sulfate = 40 + 32 + 4(16) = 136 g

So, under ideal conditions, to produce 136 g of Calcium sulfate, we require 64 g of Sulfur dioxide.

But, it mentions the process is only 95% efficient.

Hence, taking the ratio :

$\frac{64}{136} = \frac{0.95x}{100}$

$0.95x = \frac{64 \times 100}{136}$

$0.95x = \frac{6400}{136}$

$x = \frac{800}{17} \times \frac{20}{19}$

$x = \frac{16000}{323}$

x = 49.54 g (approximately)
