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>

What stress will shift the following equilibrium system to the left?
Alona [7]

<u>Answer:</u> Increasing temperature

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Principle of Le Chatelier states that <u>if a system in equilibrium is subjected to a change of conditions, it will move to a new position in order to counteract the effect that disturbed it and recover the state of equilibrium. </u>

The variation of one or several of the following factors can alter the equilibrium condition in a chemical reaction:

  • Temperature
  • The pressure
  • The volume
  • The concentration of reactants or products

In the case of the reaction in the question, <u>the change that moves the balance to the left will be the one that moves it towards the reagents</u>, that is, that favors the production of reagents instead of products.

  • Decreasing the concentration of SO3 and increasing the concentration of SO2 <u>will favor the production of SO3</u>, which is the product of the reaction.
  • Decreasing the volume increases the pressure of the system and the balance will move to where there is less number of moles. In the case of the reaction in question, we have 3 moles of molecules in the reactants (1 mole of O2 + 2 moles of SO2) while in the products there are 2 moles of SO3 only, therefore, <u>decreasing the volume will displace the balance to the right</u>, which corresponds to the sense in which there is less number of moles.

The reaction of the question is an exothermic since ΔH <0, therefore in the reaction heat is produced and it can be written in the following way,

2SO2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2SO3(g) + heat

  • So, if we increase the temperature we will be adding heat to the system, so the balance would move to the left to compensate for the excess heat in the system.

Determine how many atoms of pure silver will be created when 19.83 x 1023 atoms of copper are used in the following reaction:
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

\boxed{3.966 \times 10^{24}\text{ atoms of Ag}}

Explanation:

(a) Balanced equation

Cu + 2AgNO₃ ⟶ Cu(NO₃)₂+ 2Ag

(b) Calculation

You want to convert atoms of Cu to atoms of Ag.

The atomic ratio is ratio is 2 atoms Ag:1 atom Cu

\text{Atoms of Ag} = 19.83 \times 10^{23}\text{atoms Cu} \times \dfrac{\text{2 atoms Ag}}{\text{1 atom Cu}}\\\\= 3.966 \times 10^{24}\text{ atoms of Ag}\\\\\text{The reaction will produce }\boxed{\mathbf{3.966 \times 10^{24}}\textbf{ atoms of Ag}}
