Sulfuric acid (H2S04)is a component of acid rain which forms when SO2, a pollutant, reacts with oxygen and water in the atmosphere according to the following equation: 29Oz(g) + O2(g) + 2 H2O(I) 2H2 so4(aq) If the electricity generation plant produces 25 kg of SO2 per year to provide electricity for your house, calculate the kg of H2SO4 which can form.

Explanation / Answer

Molar mass of SO2,

MM = 1*MM(S) + 2*MM(O)

= 1*32.07 + 2*16.0

= 64.07 g/mol

mass of SO2 = 25 Kg = 25000 g

molar mass of SO2 = 64.07 g/mol

mol of SO2 = (mass)/(molar mass)

= 25000/64.07

= 390.1982 mol

According to balanced equation

mol of H2SO4 formed = moles of SO2

= 390.1982 mol

mass of H2SO4 = number of mol * molar mass

= 390.1982*98.086

= 38273 g

= 38.3 Kg

Answer: 38 Kg
