2. Toxic chromate can be precipitated from an aqueous solution by bubbling SO2(g) through the solution. How many grams of SO2 are required to treat 1.0 x 10^8 L of 0.000100 M CR+3?
2CrO4^2- (aq) + 3SO2(g) + 4H^+ (aq) -------------> Cr2(SO4)3(s) + 2H2O
no of moles of Cr^3+ = molarity * volume in L
= 0.0001*1*10^8 = 10000moles
2mole of Cr^3+ react with 3 moles of So2
10000 moles of Cr^3+ react with = 3*10000/2 = 15000 moles of So2
mass of So2 = no of moles * gram molar mass
= 15000*64 = 960000g of So2
