Wet limestone is used to scrub SO2 gas from the exhaust gases of powerplants. One possible reaction gives hydrated calcium sulfite and anotherhydrated calcium sulfate.The balanced equations for the two reactions are:

CaCO3 (s) + SO2 (g) + ½ H2O (l) ⇌ CaSO3∙½H2O (s) + CO2 (g)  CaCO3 (s) + SO2 (g) + ½ H2O (l) + ½ O2 (g) ⇌ CaSO4∙½H2O (s) + CO2 (g) 

 

Which of the two reactions will be more product favoured?
