Answer to Question #260124 in General Chemistry for blabla

Question

As a young DENR lab analyst, you know that sulfur dioxide (SO2), a pollutant,

can be removed from the emission of an industrial plant by making it react with

calcium carbonate (CaCO3 and O2). Its chemical reaction is shown below.

2SO2(g) + 2CaCO3(s) + O2(g) → 2CaSO4(s) + 2CO2(g)

1. How many grams of calcium carbonate and oxygen gas are needed to remove 1.25x10^6g of sulfur dioxide from the emission of an industrial plant?

Answer 1

2SO2(g) + 2CaCO3(s) + O2(g) → 2CaSO4(s) + 2CO2(g)

Grams of calcium carbonate=57.8g
