A student made the following diagram to represent cellular respiration. Cellular Respiration Oxygen Cell Glucose Energy Carbon dioxide Water Why is this diagram incorrect? Glucose is not used during this process. Energy is not absorbed during this process. The arrow for oxygen should point in the opposite direction. The arrow for carbon dioxide should point in the opposite direction.

When coal is burned, the sulfur present in coal is converted to sulfur dioxide (SO2), which is responsible for the acid rain phenomenon: S(s) + O2(g) → SO2(g) If 2.85 kg of S reacts with oxygen, calculate the volume of SO2 gas (in mL) formed at 30.5°C and 1.04 atm.
