How can Hydrogen cars hurt the environment?

Hydrogen sulfide is an impurity in natural gas that must beremoved. One common removal method is called the Clausprocess, which relies on the reaction:8 H2S1g2 + 4 O21g2¡S81l2 + 8 H2O1g2Under optimal conditions the Claus process gives 98% yield of S8from H2S. If you started with 30.0 g of H2S and 50.0 g of O2, howmany grams of S8 would be produced, assuming 98% yield?
