Chapter 18 <Chapter 18 Byproducts of Burning Fossil Fuels © 10 0f 15 > Review Constants Periodic Table Coal is a fossil fuel made primarily of carbon, but it also contains sulfur among other elements. Submit Previous Answers When carbon, C, burns in air, it reacts with oxygen, O2, to produce carbon dioxide, CO2 C(s) + O2(g) +CO2(g) Correct Since SO, readily forms sulfuric acid, H.SO, sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere leads to acid rain. When sulfur, S, burns in air, it reacts with oxygen, O2, to produce sulfur dioxide, SO2: S(s) + O2(g)-SO2(g) Part C If 63.0 % of the SO2 could be removed by reaction with powdered calcium oxide, CaO, via the reaction SO2(g) + Cao(s) CaSO3(s) how many tons of calcium sulfite, CaSO3, would be produced? Express your answer numerically in tons. View Available Hint(s) A A O 2 ? EVO ALD 632212.07 tons tons Submit Previous Answers * Incorrect; Try Again; 5 attempts remaining
<Chapter 18 + Byproducts of Burning Fossil Fuels < 10 of 15 > A Review Constants Periodic Table In 1986 an electrical power plant in Taylorsville, Georgia, burned 8,376,726 tons of coal, a national record at that time Coal is a fossil fuel made primarily of carbon, but it also contains sulfur among other elements. When carbon, C, burns in air, it reacts with oxygen, O2, to produce carbon dioxide, CO2 C(s) + O2(g) →CO2(g) When sulfur, S, burns in air, it reacts with oxygen, O2, to produce sulfur dioxide, SO2 S(s) + O2(g) +SO2(g) Part A Assuming that the coal was 86.4 % carbon by mass and that combustion was complete, calculate the number of tons of carbon dioxide produced by the plant during the year. Express your answer numerically in tons. View Available Hint(s) 2.65x107 tons CO2 Submit Previous Answers Correct As a greenhouse gas, CO2 traps heat from the sun. Because of this, changes in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere will affect the overall temperature of the atmosphere. Part B Assuming that the coal was 4.30 % sulfur by mass and that combustion was complete, calculate the number of tons of sulfur dioxide produced by the plant during the year. Express your answer numerically in tons. View Available Hint(s) 7.19x105 tons SO2
