Combustion of coal releases sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere. The following process converts this gas into sulfuric acid, a co

mponent of acid rain. 2SO2(g) + O2(g) → 2SO3(g) SO3(g) + H2O(l) → H2SO4(aq) If each tonne of coal produces 1.30 × 104 L of sulfur dioxide (measured at STP), what mass of sulfuric acid can result from combustion of each tonne of coal? (1 tonne = 1000 kg)

Answer:

$m=7.07gH_{2}SO_{4}$

Explanation:

1. Take in account the sulfuric acid at STP:

$1840\frac{g}{L}$

2. Density is expressed as the ratio between the mass and the volume of a substance so:

$d=\frac{m}{V}$

Solving for m:

$m=\frac{V}{d}$

3. Replace values:

$m=\frac{1.30*10^{4}L}{1840\frac{g}{L}}$

$m=7.07gH_{2}SO_{4}$

Identify the correct coefficients to balance the redox reaction with the lowest possible integer coefficients.

Monica [59]

Answer:

$\rm 3\; Ag^{1+} + 1\; Al \to 1\; Al^{3+} + 3\; Ag$ .

Explanation:

Electrons are conserved in a chemical equation.

The superscript of $\rm Ag^{1+}$ indicates that each of these ions carries a charge of $+1$ . That corresponds to the shortage of one electron for each $\rm Ag^{+}$ ion.

Similarly, the superscript $+3$ on each $\rm Al^{3+}$ ion indicates a shortage of three electrons per such ion.

Assume that the coefficient of $\rm Ag^{+}$ (among the reactants) is $x$ , and that the coefficient of $\rm Al^{3+}$ (among the reactants) is $y$ .

$\rm \mathnormal{x}\; Ag^{1+} + ?\; Al \to \mathnormal{y}\; Al^{3+} + ?\; Ag$ .

There would thus be $x$ silver ( $\rm Ag$ ) atoms and $y$ aluminum ( $\rm Al$ ) atoms on either side of the equation. Hence, the coefficient for $\rm Al\!$ and $\rm Ag\!$ would be $y\!$ and $x\!$ , respectively.

$\rm \mathnormal{x}\; Ag^{1+} + \mathnormal{y}\; Al \to \mathnormal{y}\; Al^{3+} + \mathnormal{x}\; Ag$ .

The $x$ $\rm Ag^{1+}$ ions on the left-hand side of the equation would correspond to the shortage of $x$ electrons. On the other hand, the $y$ $Al^{3+}$ ions on the right-hand side of this equation would correspond to the shortage of $3\, y$ electrons.

Just like atoms, electrons are also conserved in a chemical reaction. Therefore, if the left-hand side has a shortage of $x$ electrons, the right-hand side should also be $x\!$ electrons short of being neutral. On the other hand, it is already shown that the right-hand side would have a shortage of $3\, y$ electrons. These two expressions should have the same value. Therefore, $x = 3\, y$ .

The smallest integer $x$ and $y$ that could satisfy this relation are $x = 3$ and $y = 1$ . The equation becomes:

$\rm 3\; Ag^{1+} + 1\; Al \to 1\; Al^{3+} + 3\; Ag$ .
