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.

Using the formula F=ma, what is the force exerted by a 10 kg bowling ball
Blababa [14]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 100 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

<h3>Force = mass × acceleration</h3>

From the question

mass = 10 kg

acceleration = 10 m/s²

We have

Force = 10 × 10

We have the final answer as

<h3>100 N</h3>

Hope this helps you

A gas is under a pressure of 760torr and occupies volume of 525cm3. If the pressure is doubled, what volume would gas now occupy
german

262. 5cm3.

using the Boyles law formula. p1v1=p2v2

P1=760torr.

v1=525cm³

p2=760×2=1520torr.

v2=?

p1v1=p2v2

760×525=1520×v2

v2=[ 760×525]÷1520

v2= 262.5cm³

when the pressure increases, the volume decreases.

Explain two advantages and disadvantages of using energy created by nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.
alisha [4.7K]
A. NUCLEAR FUSION  is the combination of two atomic nuclei in order to create an atom that in turn creates energy.

A.1 DISADVANTAGES

1. Expensive Construction Costs-
To be able to put up such powerhouse, it needs ostentatious financial support to create a facility and gather experts and scientists.

2. Energy Input vs Energy Output- 
To be able to fuse the two nuclei together, there is a great demand for high levels of heat. Thus to be able to produce large amount of energy, it also needs a large amount of thermal energy which is not reasonable enough.

A.2 ADVANTAGES

1. Barely Any Waste- 
the only by product of nuclear fusion is helium and it is non toxic. This does not cause any harm to the environment and to people.

2. Unlimited Fuel- 
All of the components needed to produce energy can be made. Deuterium, which is the main ingredient needed to supply a truly unlimited and sustainable energy supply, can be distilled from the sea water.


B. NUCLEAR FISSION- refers to the process of splitting of the nucleus of an atom into several smaller particles to produce free neutrons and lighter elements.

B.1 DISADVANTAGES

1. It can be dangerous for employees- 
Radiation which is one of the byproducts of nuclear fission can be harmful to the personnel working within its premises.

2. It has high initial expenses- 
Nuclear power plants needs a specialized equipment for it to become functional. 

B.2 ADVANTAGES


1. It helps minimize environmental pollution- 
Nuclear power plants can produce large amounts of energy while consuming relatively minimal amount of fossil fuel. To explain further, consumption and usage of fossil fuel poses adverse effect in the environment because it can emit carbon dioxide and other harmful chemicals.

2. It helps reduce global warming- If the world would opt for nuclear fission, then there would be less greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere. This in turn would mitigate global warming.
