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?
