Combustion of coal releases sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere. the following process converts this gas into sulfuric acid, a component of acid rain. 2so2(g) + o2(g) → 2so3(g) so3(g) + h2o(l) → h2so4(aq) if each tonne of coal produces 1.30 × 104 l of sulfur dioxide (measured at stp), what mass of sulfuric acid can result from combustion of each tonne of coal? (1 tonne = 1000 kg)

Explanation:

1. Take in account the sulfuric acid at STP:

2. Density is expressed as the ratio between the mass and the volume of a substance so:

Solving for m:

3. Replace values:

solute : a solute is a substance that is dissolved in another substance is known as a solvent. it is mixed with a special mixture know as homogeneous mixture.

solvent: a solvent is a substance that dissolved a solute, which results in a solution is known as solvent.
