How much sulfuric acid could be produced from the sulfur recovered from burning 1 ton of coal that is 1% sulfur? Assume the conversion of sulfur to sulfuric acid occurs with a 75% yield.

Step 1
First, we need to find out how much sulfur is in 1 ton of coal that is 1% sulfur. 1 ton of coal = 2000 lb (since 1 ton = 2000 lb) 1% of 2000 lb = 0.01 * 2000 = 20 lb of sulfur Show more…

How much sulfur dioxide could be produced from complete combustion of $1.00$ ton of coal (carbon) containing $2.85 \%$ sulfur?
One reaction in the production of sulfuric acid involves the conversion of sulfur dioxide to sulfur trioxide. In the presence of excess $\mathrm{O}_{2}, 88 \mathrm{kg} \mathrm{SO}_{2}$ produces $106 \mathrm{kg} \mathrm{SO}_{3}$ What is the percent yield?
For the reaction of sulfur trioxide with water to produce sulfuric acid, how many grams of sulfuric acid can be produced from 250. g of sulfur trioxide and 150. g of water?
