How much sulphur dioxide is produced on complete combustion of 1 kg of coal containing 6.23percent sulphur?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Tresset [83]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Approximately 1.24 \times 10^{2}\; \rm g, assuming that all sulfur in that coal was converted to \rm SO_2.

Explanation:

Look up the relative atomic mass of \rm S and \rm O on a modern periodic table:

  • \rm S: 32.06.
  • \rm O: 15.999.

Convert the unit of the mass of coal to grams:

\begin{aligned} & m(\text{coal})= 1\; \rm kg \times \frac{10^{3}\; \rm g}{1\; \rm kg} = 1000\; \rm g\end{aligned}.

Mass of sulfur in that much coal:

m(\text{sulfur}) = 1000\; \rm g \times 6.23\% = 62.3\; \rm g.

The relative atomic mass of sulfur is 32.06. Therefore, the mass of each mole of sulfur atoms would be 32.06\; \rm g. Calculate the number of moles of atoms in that 62.3\; \rm g of sulfur:

\begin{aligned}& n(\text{S})\\&= \frac{m(\mathrm{S})}{M(\mathrm{S})}\\ &= \frac{62.3\; \rm g}{32.06\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \approx 1.94323\; \rm mol\end{aligned}.

Each \rm SO_2\! molecule contains one sulfur atom. Therefore, assuming that all those (approximately) 1.94323\; \rm mol\! of sulfur atoms were converted to \rm SO_2 molecules through the reaction with \rm O_2, (approximately) 1.94323\; \rm mol of \!\rm SO_2 molecules would be produced.

Calculate the mass of one mole of \rm SO_2 molecules:

\begin{aligned}& M(\mathrm{SO_2})\\ &= 32.06 + 2\times 15.999 \\ &= 64.058\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}\end{aligned}.

The mass of that 1.94323\; \rm mol of \rm SO_2 molecules would be:

\begin{aligned}& m(\mathrm{SO_2}) \\ &= n(\mathrm{SO_2}) \cdot M(\mathrm{SO_2}) \\ &\approx 19.4323\; \rm mol \\ &\quad \times 64.058\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1} \\ &\approx 1.24\times 10^{2}\; \rm g\end{aligned}.

In the following reaction, which substance is the precipitate? (NH4)2SO4(aq) + Ba(NO3)2(aq) BaSO4(s) + 2NH4NO3(aq
mariarad [96]
Assuming that the reactants are:

(NH4)2SO4 (aq) + Ba(NO3)2 (aq)

and the products are:

BaSO4 (s) + 2NH4NO3 (aq),

then you will have to determine which product is insoluble. You should have access to solubility rules to help you determine this.

According to the solubility rules, the following elements are considered insoluble when paired with SO4:

Sr^2+, Ba^2+, Pb^2+, Ag^2+, and Ca^2+

Therefore, the precipitate will be BaSO4 (s).

Two equilibrium reactions of nitrogen with oxygen, with their corresponding equilibrium constants (Kc) at a certain temperature,
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Kc = 1.54e - 31 / 2.61e - 24

Explanation:

1 )   N_{2}(gas) + O_{2}(gas)\rightarrow 2NO(gas)  ; Kc = 1.54e - 31

2)   N_{2}(gas) + 1/2O_{2}(gas)\rightarrow N_{2}O(gas)  ; Kc = 2.16e - 24

   upon reversing  ( 2 )  equation

     N_{2}O(gas)\rightarrow N_{2}(gas) + 1/2O_{2}(gas)   Kc = 1/2.16e - 24  

    now adding 1 and reversed equation (2)

       N_{2}(gas) + O_{2}(gas)\rightarrow 2NO(gas)

      N_{2}O(gas)\rightarrow N_{2}(gas) + 1/2O_{2}(gas)

   we get ,

                  N_{2}O(gas) + 1/2O_{2}(gas)\rightarrow 2NO(gas)  Kc = 1.54e-31 × 1/2.61e - 24

       equilibrium constant of equation (3) is -

            Kc = 1.54e - 31 / 2.61e - 24
