The annual production of sulfur dioxide from burning coal, fossil fuels,
auto exhaust, and other sources is about 130 million tons. When solid sulfur
reacts with oxygen gas it produces gaseous sulfur dioxide. What is the mass
in grams of sulfur that is needed to produce 2.30 Kg of sulfur dioxide?
*Don’t forget from your metric you were given that 1 Kg = 1000 g.

Answer:

1150g

Explanation:

The equation for producing sulphur dioxide is [tex]S + O_{2} ==> SO_{2}[/tex]

Looking at the ratios, you need 1 mole of sulphur for every 1 mole of sulphur dioxide

Sulphur dioxide has a molar mass of 32 + (2 x 16) = 64g

2.30 x 1000 = 2300

2300 / 64 = 35.9375

35.9375 x 32 = 1150g of sulphur
