246800 tons of sulfur dioxide was emitted by the utility company who burned 6.17 million tons of coal.

6.17 million tons of coal contain 2.00% sulfur, hence the weight of sulfur is:

Weight of sulfur = 2% of 6.17 million tons = 0.02 * 6170000 = 123400 tons

123400 tons of sulfur is found in 6.17 million tons of coal

The weight of sulfur dioxide is twice that of sulfur, hence:

Amount of sulfur dioxide emitted = 2 * 123400 tons  = 246800 tons

246800 tons of sulfur dioxide was emitted.

If your car gets 30.3 mi/gal, how many gallons of gasoline would you use if you drove 506.3 miles? 1 mile = 5280 ft (exactly) In
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer: 16.7 gallon

Explanation:

Given: The car can drive 30.3 miles when 1 gallon of gasoline is used.

Distance covered = 506.3 miles

Thus for 30.3 miles, the amount of gasoline used= 1 gallon

For 506.3 miles, the amount of gasoline used=\frac{1}{30.3}\times 506.3=16.7gallon

Thus the amount of gasoline used is 16.7 gallons.

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The noble gases (Group 18) are located in the far right of the periodic table and were previously referred to as the "inert gases" due to the fact that their filled valence shells (octets) make them extremely nonreactive.
