<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>
My Friday is going good and I might get to go over to my BFF house!!!
K5O2
convert grams to moles, divide both by the smallest mole mass, multiply that until hole.
30.5 g K ÷ 39.10 = .78 mol
6.24 g O ÷ 16 = .39 mol
.78 mol ÷ .39 mol = 2.5
.39 mol ÷ .39 mol = 1
2.5 x 2 = 5
1 x 2 = 2

The pressure of a gas is the force that the gas exerts on the walls of its container. When you blow air into a balloon, the balloon expands because the pressure of air molecules is greater on the inside of the balloon than the outside. Pressure is a property which determines the direction in which mass flows.
