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>

You pimp air into your volleyball the ball mass is?
Mumz [18]

Answer: When it comes to maintaining your volleyball ball, there are some things you should get accustomed to doing. One of the most important is knowing how to inflate it. The professionals keep the psi of a ball at 0.3 to 0.325 for indoor balls and at 0.175 to 0.225 for beach, or outdoor, balls.

What type of tree has thin, waxy needles that drop throughout the year and help to retain water?
grin007 [14]

Only coniferous trees have thin, waxy, needle-like leaves that drop throughout the year and help to retain water.

<h3>What are coniferous trees?</h3>

Coniferous trees are evergreen trees that produce cones.

In addition, they produce waxy and needle-like leaves that help them conserve water by limiting the evapotranspiration rate as a result of reduced surface area.

Examples of conifers include pine trees and spruces.

0.446 g of hydrogen gas fills a 5.0 L bag determine the density of hydrogen
Oduvanchick [21]

The density of hydrogen : ρ = 0.0892 g/L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

mass of Hydrogen : 0.446 g

Volume = 5 L

Required

The density

Solution

Density is a quantity derived from the mass and volume  

Density is the ratio of mass per unit volume  

The unit of density can be expressed in g/cm³, kg/m³, or g/L

Density formula:  

\large {\boxed {\bold {\rho ~ = ~ \frac {m} {V}}}}

Input the value :

ρ = m : V

ρ = 0.446 g : 5 L

ρ = 0.0892 g/L

Green plants use light from the Sun to drive photosynthesis, a chemical reaction in which liquid water and carbon dioxide gas fo
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

                    1.8 moles of O₂

Explanation:

                     The balance chemical equation for said double replacement (photosynthesis) reaction is as follow;

                           6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂

According to balance chemical equation,

                 6 moles of O₂ are produced by  =  6 moles of CO₂

So,

                1.8 moles of O₂ will be produced by  =  X moles of O₂

Solving for X,

                     X =  1.8 mol × 6 mol / 6 mol

                     X =  1.8 moles of O₂

Stoichiometric problems in which moles are given and moles or other reactant or product asked are the simplest problems. One should only write the balanced chemical equation and perform above method to find the required moles.

A 0.0200 gram piece of unknown alkaline earth metal, M, is reacted with excess 0.500 M H 2 SO 4 , and the hydrogen gas produced
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

0.981atm

Explanation:

According ot Dalton's law total pressure of a mixture of non-reactive gas is equal to sum of partial pressures of individual gases.

total pressure= 1.01at

Number of gases=2

Gases: water vapor and hydrogen

partial pressure of water vapor= 0.029atm

1.01= partial pressure of water vapor+ partial pressure of hydrogen

1.01= 0.029 + partial pressure of hydrogen

partial pressure of hydrogen = 0.981atm
