Assume a coal has a proximate analysis of C52H41S0.5N0.2O5. This coal is burned at a power plant to generate electricity. What are two types of NOx formation you would expect from using this coal as an energy source? For each ton (2,000 lbs) of this coal is combusted, what is the total mass potential for SO2 emission? Please provide your answer in SO2 pounds per ton of coal.
In any manufacturing process, reaction monitoring ensures that a chemical reaction proceeds as expected. Table 1 shows the monitoring data for the formation of chlorohexane, collected using a technique called gas chromatography. Note that the concentrations of the chlorohexane solutions are given in millimoles per litre (mmol l–1). The abbreviation mM (millimolar) is frequently used. Plot a graph of the data in Table 1. The graph should be drawn on graph paper or use fine grid if it’s drawn on Excel. Elapsed Time/Hours Concentration of Chlorohexane/mM 0 0 2 40 4 65 6 80 8 90 10 95 12 99
Landfills usually contain a large deposit of various organic material that degrade over time producing a plethora of secondary pollutants. These compounds are displaced by the action of leachate and eventual accumulate in the leachate pond. One such organic molecule is compound I drawn below: Degradation of the organic molecule in the leachate pond occurs by a combustion-type reaction consuming dissolved oxygen in the water. Write a balanced equation representing a complete combustion-type reaction for compound I using the formula assessed in part (c).
16. The combustion of gasoline (octane) in a car engine can be represented by the following equation: 2C3H18(1) + 2502(g) a. What mass of oxygen is used up to burn a full tank of 36.00 kg of gasoline? Text --> 16CO2(g) +18H20(g) b. Why might a vehicle that is calibrated to run perfectly at sea level run poorly at higher elevations? Text Тext According to the Canadian Automobile Association, the average Canadian drives 20,000 km/yr. C. Assuming that distance, how many more kg of carbon dioxide are added to the atmosphere each year by a Toyota Tacoma (fuel economy of 12.8 L/100 km) than a Toyota Prius (4.52 L/100 km)? The density of gasoline is 0.719 kg/L.
3) a) State briefly what are the following (including their purpose in oil refining): i) hydrocarbons and oil ii) parafins and olefins iii) naphtas and gasoline iv) cracking and reforming (state also briefly their purpose in oil refining)
A fermenter was filled with 10L of 0.6 mol/L sodium sulfite solution containing 0.003M Cu2+ ion and the air sparger was turned on. After exactly 10 minutes, the airflow was stopped and a 5 mL sample was taken and titrated. The concentration of sodium sulfite in the sample was found to be 0.2 M. Calculate the oxygen uptake rate.

A commercial 737 jet transporting 143 passengers and 5 crew members from Kansas city (MCI) to Baltimore (BWI) burned 11800 lb. of Jet A fuel. Jet A fuel is kerosene based, consisting primarily of CnH2n+2 hydrocarbons, with n = 6 to 16, so the Carbon:Hydrogen ratio is close to 1:2. During this flight How much CO2 would be released into the atmosphere if those passengers and crew made the trip instead, in pairs, in hybrid cars at 50 miles per gallon. (Assume the density of gasoline to be 0.75kg L-1 and that carbon and hydrogen dominate the composition in a ratio 1:2. The road trip is 1082 miles.
My quiz timed out and I was unable to answer the first question in time. I was also unable to answer the second correctly. This concept confuses me quite a lot and I'm not sure how to solve it in a step-by step process
