Question

The amount of acid pollution in the atmosphere can be reduced by injecting calcium oxide (CaO) into combustion chambers of industrial power plants, where it reacts with the sulfur dioxide (SO2) to produce solid calcium sulfite (CaSO3). The reaction for this process, which is known as scrubbing, is shown below: CaO(s) + SO2(g) → CaSO3(s) Determine the mass of CaSO3 produced (in tonnes) from 2.5 × 10^6 moles of CaO and excess SO2 (One tonne = 1000 kg).

Step 1

5 x 10^6 moles of CaO. Given: 2.5 x 10^6 moles of CaO Since CaO is the limiting reagent, the number of moles of CaSO3 produced will be equal to the number of moles of CaO. Number of moles of CaSO3 = 2.5 x 10^6 moles Show more…
