A typical frostless refrigerator uses 655 kWh of
energy per year in the form of electricity. Suppose
that all of this electricity is generated at a power
plant that burns coal containing 3.5% sulfur by
mass and that all of the sulfur is emitted as SO2
Part A
when the coal is burned.
If all of the SO2 goes on to react with rainwater to form H2SO4, what mass of H2 SO4 is produced by the annual
operation of the refrigerator? (Hint: Assume that the remaining percentage of the coal is carbon and begin by calculating
AHm for the combustion of carbon.)
Express your answer using two significant figures.
m =
