In coal, pyrites `(FeS_(2))` is present as a pollution-causing impurity, which is removed by combustion. `2FeS_(2) + 5O_(2) rarr 4SO_(2) + 2FeO`. Calculate the moles of `SO_(2)` produced by burning 1.0metric ton `(10^(3) kg)` of coal containing 0.05% by mass of pyrites impurity?A. `8.32 mol`B. `4.16 mol`C. `12.48 mol`D. `2.08 mol` |
Answer» Correct Answer - A Mol of `SO_(2) = (1.0 xx 10^(6) g "coal")` `((0.05 g Fe S_(2))/(100 g "coal"))((1 "mol" g FeS_(2))/(120 g "Coal"))` `((4 "mol" SO_(2))/(2 "mol" FeS_(2)))` `= (10^(6) xx 0.05 xx 1 xx 4)/(100 xx 120 xx 2) = 8.32 "mol" SO_(2)` |
