Chapter 15, Problem 75AP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The chemical reaction for the burning of Sulfur in coal to form sulfur dioxide should be explained.

Concept introduction:

The sulfur dioxide is comparatively more toxic in nature, colorless and a nonflammable gas. It creates air pollution and mostly is used in pharmaceutical aid and as an antioxidant. It is used as a sanitizing agent for food containers and fermentation machines/tools. It is used in food as a stabilizer, moisture control agent and also as a flavor modifier and texturizer.
It is a colorless gas and with a pungent odor. It becomes liquid when it comes under pressure also dissolve in water.
The sulfur dioxide is produced due to the burning of coal and oil at power plants which enter into the atmosphere.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A large coal-burning power plant burns 2600 tons of coal per day. The coal contains 0.65% S by mass. By assuming that all the sulfur is converted to SO2the mass of SO2formed is to be identified. If a thermal inversion traps all this SO2in a volume of air that is 45 km by 60 km by 0.40 km, will the level of SO2in the air exceed the primary national air quality standard of Chemistry for Changing Times, Chapter 15, Problem 75AP air.
