A West Virginia coal is burned at a rate of 8.02 kg/s. The coal has a sulfur content of 4.40 % and the bottom ash contains 2.80

% of the input sulfur. What is the annual rate (in kg/yr) of stack emissions of SO2

Answer: The annual emission rate of SO2 is 1.08 × 10^{7} kg/yr

Explanation:

  • The rate <em>r</em> at which the coal is been burnt is 8.02 kg/s.
  • Amount of sulphur in the burning coal is given as 4.40 %

i.e., 4.4/100 × 8.02 = 0.353 kg/s. Which is equivalent to the rate at which the sulphur is been burnt.

  • Since the burning of sulphur oxidizes it to produce SO2, it follows that the non-oxidized portion of the sulphur will go with the bottom ash.

  • The bottom ash is said to contain 2.80 % of the input sulphur.

  • Hence the portion of the SO2 produced is 100 — 2.80 = 97.20 %.

  • The rate of the SO2 produced is percentage of SO2 × rate at high sulphur is been burnt.

  = 97.20/100 × 0.353 kg/s.

  = 0.343 kg/s.

  • To get the annual emission rate of SO2, we convert the kg/s into kg/yr.

1 kg/s = 1 kg/s × (60 × 60 × 24 × 365) s/yr

1 kg/s = 31536000 kg/yr

  • Therefore, 0.343 kg/s = 0.343 × 31536000 kg/yr

     = 10816848 kg/yr

     = 1.08 × 10^7 kg/yryr.

What happens if you don't disconnect the wires in a series circuit?
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

the series circuit has <u>one current</u> so if you don't disconnect the wires nothing happens

but if you disconnect the wires in series circuit, the current stop and the current doesn't go to the end

Identify the compound with the smallest percent ionic character. identify the compound with the smallest percent ionic character
rosijanka [135]
<span> I'll try. A purely ionic bond, as the name implies is a bond between ions. If that sounds like double-talk it's because some ionic compounds are more ionic than others. A purely covalent compound is one in which the electrons are shared EQUALLY. It turns out that the only compounds in which the electrons are shared equally is one in which both atoms sharing the electrons are of the same element. For example O2, N2, Cl2, I2 or F2. Now suppose you make a compound between Fluorine and Iodine, IF. Since fluorine has a greater attraction for electrons than iodine, the bond will be polar. That is the fluorine part of the molecule will be negative and the iodine part will be positive. The attraction for electrons isn't equal. The same thing happens with ionic bonds. In your first question, the ionic character decreases from NaF through SiF4. Sodium loses an electron quite readily because it achieves a stable neon like configuration. Fluorine attracts an electron very strongly for the same reason. But as you move across the period, two things are happening. First, look at SiF4. Silicon is right in the middle of the period, It can achieve a stable inert gas configuration either by gaining 4 or losing 4 electrons. So it depends upon the electronegativity (the electron grabbing ability) of the atom it's combining with. Since Fluorine has the highest electron grabbing ability of any of the reactive elements, it will tend to pull the electrons away from silicon. But silicon doesn't completely give them up as it would in a purely ionic compound. AlF3 is similar but will tend to give up 3 electrons a little easier than SiF4. MgF2 is even more ionic because it's approaching an inert gas configuration and only need to lose 2 electrons. Can you see what's happening? The closer you get to the middle of a period, the less likely an atom is to give up COMPLETELY its electrons. In question 2 your answer is CO. The elements are close together (which means that their electronic structure is similar) and carbon, like silicon is in the middle of the period so its more likely to share electrons than it is to give them up (form an ionic bond). So it turns out that most chemical bonds are neither completely ionic or covalent but lie in between the two extremes and are called polar covalent. I hope this helps.</span>
