Question

A major use of calcium oxide (lime) is in pollution control at coal burning power plant. Which reaction below best represents the overall reaction which occurs in the smokestack of a power plant?

   

CaO(s) + SO3(aq) → CaSO4(s)

   

CaO(s) + SO3(aq) → Ca(s) + SO2(g) + O2(g)

   

CaO(s) + SO3(aq) → CaS(s) + O2(g) 

   

2 CaO(s) + C(s) → Ca2C(s) + O2(g)

   

CaO(s) + C(s) → CaCO(s)
