A certain sample of coal contains 1.60 percent sulfur by mass. when the coal is burned, the sulfur is converted to sulfur dioxid

e. to prevent air pollution, this sulfur dioxide is treated with calcium oxide (cao) to form calcium sulfite (caso3). calculate the daily mass (in kilograms) of cao needed by a power plant that uses 5.00 × 106 kg of coal per day. enter your answer in scientific notation.

<span>1.40 x 10^5 kilograms of calcium oxide The reaction looks like SO2 + CaO => CaSO3 First, determine the mass of sulfur in the coal 5.00 x 10^6 * 1.60 x 10^-2 = 8.00 x 10^4 Now lookup the atomic weights of Sulfur, Calcium, and Oxygen. Sulfur = 32.065 Calcium = 40.078 Oxygen = 15.999 Calculate the molar mass of CaO CaO = 40.078 + 15.999 = 56.077 Since 1 atom of sulfur makes 1 atom of sulfur dioxide, we don't need the molar mass of sulfur dioxide. We merely need the number of moles of sulfur we're burning. divide the mass of sulfur by the atomic weight. 8.00 x 10^4 / 32.065 = 2.49 x 10^3 moles Since 1 molecule of sulfur dioxide is reacted with 1 molecule of calcium oxide, just multiply the number of moles needed by the molar mass 2.49 x 10^3 * 56.077 = 1.40 x 10^5 So you need to use 1.40 x 10^5 kilograms of calcium oxide per day to treat the sulfur dioxide generated by burning 5.00 x 10^6 kilograms of coal with 1.60% sulfur.</span>

Three substances A, B, and C melt at 00C,500C and -1500C
Drupady [299]
Answer:

That information is better presented and analyzed in a table.

This table shows you all the information and the answers:


Substance         melting point   boiling point    room temperature    conclusion
                                    °C                  °C                      °C                    (state)


A                                  0                    100                    25                    liquid

B                                  50                  200                    25                    solid
C                               -150                   10                     25                    gas

Explanation:

1) Substance A at 25° is above the melting point and below the boiling point, then it is liquid (just like water)


2) Substance B at 25°C is below the melting point, so it is solid.

3) Substance C at 25°C is above the boiling point, so it is gas.

Introduced sewage in water systems _______. a. decreases levels of phosphorus and nitrogen b. increases oxygen levels c. increas
enyata [817]

Option C: Introducing sewage in water systems increases the concentration of solids.

Sewage is one of the most concerning sources of water pollution. Sewage, in simple terms, is the wastewater that contains compostable materials from the kitchen, industries, bathrooms, etc.

When untreated sewage is introduced into the water bodies, the microorganisms in it take up the oxygen from water for their aerobic respiration. As a result, the resident organisms of the water body have to struggle to survive due to the lack of oxygen in the water.

Sewage also contributes to the eutrophication of water bodies. Eutrophication is the process by which the nutritional elements, like phosphates and nitrates, in a water body, are enhanced causing the microorganisms to feast over them.

Sewage has some solid particles that can't be dissolved or decomposed. This then leads to the concentration of solids at the base of the water body. This further leads to the growth of various organisms using dissolved oxygen and leads to the deterioration of water quality.
