Acid rain is caused in part by burning coal that contains sulfur impurities. The sulfur is converted first to SO2, which reacts with oxygen and atmospheric moisture to produce sulfuric acid, H2SO4. If a particular coal contains 2.5% sulfur (by mass), calculate the mass of sulfuric acid produced by burning a metric ton (1000 kg) of the coal.

Acid rain is caused in part by burning coal thatcontains sulfur impurities. The sulfur is converted first toSO₂, which reacts with oxygen and atmospheric moistureto produce sulfuric acid, H₂SO₄. If aparticular coal contains 1.85% sulfur (by mass), calculate the massof sulfuric acid produced by burning a metric ton (1000 kg) of thecoal.

Acid rain was at one time an important point of contention between the United States and Canada. Much of this acid was the result of the emission of sulfur oxides by coal-fired electricity generating plants in southern Indiana and Ohio. These sulfur oxides, when dissolved in rainwater, formed sulfuric acid and hence âacid rainâ. How many metric tonnes of Indiana coal, which averages 3.5% sulfur by weight, would yield the H2SO4 required to produce a 0.9 inch rainfall of pH 3.90 precipitation over a 104 square mile area?
