(a) Explanation Express the amount of SO 2 produced, in kg per kg of coal. m SO 2 = N SO 2 M SO 2 m C + m H 2 + m O 2 + m N 2 + m S + m Ash (I) Here, number of moles of sulfur dioxide is N SO 2 , molar mass of sulfur dioxide is M SO 2 , mass of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur and ash is m C , m H 2 , m O 2 , m N 2 , m S and m Ash respectively. Conclusion: Refer Table A-1, “atomic or molecular weights”, and write the molar masses of given species. M C = 12 kg / kmol M H 2 = 2.06 kg / kmol M O 2 = 32 kg / kmol M N 2 = 28 .01 kg / kmol M S = 32 .06 kg / kmol Here, molar mass of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur is M C , M H , M O 2 , M N 2 and M S respectively. Represent the amounts of the substances on the basis of 100 kg of coal as in Table (I).
