One commercial system removes SO2 emissions from smoke at 95.0°C by the following set of balanced reactions: SO2(g) + Cl2 → SO2C

l2(g) SO2Cl2 + 2H2O → H2SO4 + 2HCl H2SO4 + Ca(OH)2 → CaSO4(s) + 2H2O Assuming the process is 95.0 % efficient, how many grams of CaSO4 may be produced from 100. g of SO2? (molar masses: SO2, 64.1 g/mol; CaSO4, 136 g/mol)
a. 87.2 g
b. 202 g
c. 44.8 g
d. 47.1 g
e. 212 g

Answer : The correct option is, (b) 202 g

Explanation :

The given set of balanced reactions are:

(1):SO_2(g)+Cl_2\rightarrow SO_2Cl_2(g)\\\\(2):SO_2Cl_2(g)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_2SO_4(l)+2HCl(l)\\\\(3):H_2SO_4(l)+Ca(OH)_2(s)\rightarrow CaSO_4(s)+2H_2O(l)

First we have to calculate the moles of SO_2.

\text{ Moles of }SO_2=\frac{\text{ Mass of }SO_2}{\text{ Molar mass of }SO_2}=\frac{100g}{64.1g/mole}=1.56moles

Now we have to calculate the moles of CaSO_4.

From the given set of balanced reactions we conclude that,

As, the mole ratio of SO_2:SO_2Cl_2:H_2SO_4:CaSO_4 is, 1 : 1 : 1 : 1

So, the moles of CaSO_4 = moles of SO_2 = 1.56 moles

Now we have to calculate the mass of CaSO_4.

\text{ Mass of }CaSO_4=\text{ Moles of }CaSO_4\times \text{ Molar mass of }CaSO_4

\text{ Mass of }CaSO_4=(1.56moles)\times (136g/mole)=212.16g

As we are given that the process is 95.0 % efficient that means the amount we calculated is recovered.

Mass of CaSO_4  = 212.16g\times 95\%=212.16g\times \frac{95}{100}=201.55g\approx 202g

Therefore, the mass of CaSO_4  produced is 202 grams.

Reaction intermediates differ from activated complexes in that A. they are stable molecules with normal bonds and are frequently
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

they are molecules with normal bonds rather than partial bonds and can occasionally be isolated.

Explanation:

In chemistry, reaction intermediates are species that are formed from reactants and are subsequently being transformed into products as the reaction progresses. In other words,  reaction intermediates are species that do not appear in a balanced reaction equation but occur somewhere along the reaction mechanism of a non-elementary reaction. They are usually short lived species that possess a high amount of energy. They may or may not be isolated.

They are often molecular species with normal bonds unlike activated complexes that are sometimes hypervalent species.

Now they feel it is best to have you identify an unknown gas based on its properties. Suppose 0.508 g of a gas occupies a volume
pishuonlain [190]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

             mass = 0.508 g,               Volume = 0.175 L

             Temperature = (25 + 273) K = 298 K,       P = 1 atm

As per the ideal gas law, PV = nRT.

where,  n = no. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

Hence, putting all the given values into the ideal gas equation as follows.

               PV = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}} \times RT            

           1 atm \times 0.175 L = \frac{0.508 g}{\text{molar mass}} \times 0.0821 L atm/ K mol \times 298 K  

                            = 71.02 g

As the molar mass of a chlorine atom is 35.4 g/mol and it exists as a gas. So, molar mass of Cl_{2} is 70.8 g/mol or 71 g/mol (approx).

Thus, we can conclude that the gas is most likely chlorine.

Which of the following natural resources cant be reused
ohaa [14]
Hi there! Air and sunlight can definitely be reused. Those are abundant and renewable resources. Therefore, A and D are eliminated. There is a limited amount of water, however, it's impossible to run out of it to the point that there's no more on Earth. C is out. The only answer choice that makes sense is coal, because it's a nonrenewable resource, and it takes millions of years to make more of. It's a fossil fuel, so once we use them up, we can't get anymore during our lives. The answer is B: coal.

You were making a cream based sauce for your pasta and decided to add some freshly canned tomatoes to the sauce. It tasted fine,
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer & explanation:

Canned fruits and vegetables generally have a high acidity and salinity content, in order to prevent the product from spoiling, in addition to enhancing its flavor.

The cream-based sauce started to curdle due to the acidity present in the canned tomatoes.

By lowering the pH of dairy products, a protein in them called casein begins to clot. It is this clotting of the casein that causes the cream-based sauce to curdle.
