Answer #1

Moles of SO2 = mass/molecular weight

= 3.325*1000 kg / 64kg/kmol

= 52 kmol

Moles of NO2 = 171.649*100/46 = 3731.5 kmol

Moles of CO2 = 313686*1000/44 = 7129227 kmol

Moles of CH4 = 146*1000/16 = 9125 kmol

Total Moles = 52 + 3731.5 + 7129227 + 9125

= 7142135.5 kmol

Mol fraction of SO2 = moles of SO2/total moles

= 52/7142135.5

= 7.28 x 10^-6

Mol fraction of NO2 = 9125/7142135.5 = 1.27 x 10^-3

Mol fraction of CO2 = 7129227/7142135.5 = 0.998

Mol fraction of CH4 = 7129227/7142135.5 = 0.998

A power plant burns 100 metric tons of coal per day with a sulfur content of 5%. The coal contains 3% ash (noncombustible portion). Samples of the ash show that it has a sulfur content of 10% sulfur by weight. Sulfur that is not in the ash is in the flue gases. How many metric tons of SO2 are emitted from the smoke stack each day? (Hint: Apply mass balance to find the amount of sulfur leaving the power plant...

A power plant burns 150 U.S. short tons of coal per day, and there are 18.2 lb. of flue gas produced per pound of coal. The sulfur content of the coal is 2.0 percent and the molar mass (molecular weight) of the flue gas is 30.5. If all the sulfur in the coal appears as SO2 in the flue gas, what is the concentration of SO2 in the flue gas in parts per million?

tradable permits Two steel factories are currently emitting 8,000 tons of pollution each (for a total of 16,000 tons). Pollution reduction (abatement) costs for Plant 1 are given by MCR1= 0.02Q and for Plant 2 by MCR2 = 0.03Q, where Q represents tons of abatement, and MCR the marginal cost of pollution reduction. A. Suppose a tradable permit system is instituted in which permits for emissions of 6,000 tons of pollution are freely issued, 3,000 permits to each plant. What...

Suppose there are only two sources of SO2 emissions in Ohio. Source 1 is a coal fired power plant and Source 2 is an oil refinery. Marginal control costs for the two firms are given by MCC1=100*q1 and MCC2=300*q2, where q1 and q2 represent the tons of pollution that each respective firm controls. Each of these two sources both currently emits 20 tons of sulfur dioxide. Ohio's government decides that it wants to reduce SO2 pollution by 20 tons total....

A thermal power plant has received a coal sample. The plant manager is required to analyse if the auxiliary equipment and the combustion systems are ready for burning this fuel. For determining the suitability of burners and auxiliary systems, some adequate analyses are needed. The coal sample has the following ultimate analysis.

The reaction SO2(g)+2H2S(g)←−→3S(s)+2H2O(g) is the basis of a suggested method for removal of SO2 from power-plant stack gases. The standard free energy of each substance are ΔG∘fS(s) = 0 kJ/mol, ΔG∘fH2O(g) = -228.57 kJ/mol, ΔG∘fSO2(g) = -300.4 kJ/mol, ΔG∘fH2S(g) = -33.01 kJ/mol. Part A What is the equilibrium constant for the reaction at 298 K? Express your answer using one significant figure. Part B In principle, is this reaction a feasible method of removing SO2? -Yes -No Part C If...
