Problem 130

Sulfur dioxide is used to make sulfuric acid. One method of producing it is by roasting mineral sulfides, for example,
$$\operatorname{FeS}_{2}(s)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{SO}_{2}(g)+\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}(s) \quad[\text {unbalanced }]$$
A production error leads to the sulfide being placed in a $950-\mathrm{L}$ vessel with insufficient oxygen. Initially, the partial pressure of $\mathrm{O}_{2}$ is 0.64 atm, and the total pressure is 1.05 atm, with the balance due to $\mathrm{N}_{2}$. The reaction is run until $85 \%$ of the $\mathrm{O}_{2}$ is consumed, and the vessel is then cooled to its initial temperature. What is the total pressure in the vessel and the partial pressure of each gas in it?

A. Dumas devised a method for finding the molar mass of a volatile liquid from the volume, temperature, pressure, and mass of its vapor. He placed a sample of such a liquid in a flask that was closed with a stopper fitted with a narrow tube, immersed the flask in a hot water bath to vaporize the liquid, and then cooled the flask. Find the molar mass of a volatile liquid from the following:
Mass of empty flask $=65.347 \mathrm{~g}$ Mass of flask filled with water at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}=327.4 \mathrm{~g}$

Sulfur dioxide emissions from coal-burning power plants are removed by flue-gas desulfurization.
