About 200 minerals make up the bulk of most rocks. The feldspar mineral family is the most abundant. Quartz, calcite, pyrite, and clay minerals are also common. A low-grade pyrite containing 32% S is mixed with 15 lb of pure sulfur per 100 Ib of pyrites so the mixture will burn readily with air, forming a burner gas that analyzes 11.2 % SO2, 7.9 % O2, and 80.9 % N2. No sulfur is left in the cinder. Calculate the percentage of sulfur fired that burned to SO. The SO3 is not detected by the analysis. Show the balanced chemical reaction. Use molecular species balance in solving.

Transcribed Image Text:About 200 minerals make up the bulk of most rocks. The feldspar mineral family is the most abundant. Quartz,
calcite, pyrite, and clay minerals are also common. A low-grade pyrite containing 32% S is mixed with 15 Ib of
pure sulfur per 100 Ib of pyrites so the mixture will burn readily with air, forming a burner gas that analyzes 11.2
% SO2, 7.9 % O2, and 80.9 % N2. No sulfur is left in the cinder. Calculate the percentage of sulfur fired that
burned to SO3. The SO3 is not detected by the analysis. Show the balanced chemical reaction. Use molecular
species balance in solving.
