SO2 is a product of coal combustion. It may combine with O2 and H2O in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid, a component of acid rain. One way to reduce the formation of acid rain involves trapping the SO2 by passing smokestack gases through a spray of calcium oxide and O2. The product of this reaction is calcium sulfate. a) Write a balanced chemical equation describing this reaction by writing the product and adding coefficients. __SO2+__CaO+__O2=__CaSO4 b) How many metric tons of calcium sulfate would be produced from each metric ton of SO2 that is trapped?

This year, like many past years, you begin to feel very sleepy alter eating a large helping of Thanksgiving turkey. Some people attribute this sleepiness to the presence of the amino acid tryptophan in turkey. Tryptophan can be used by the body to produce serotonin, which can calm the brains activity and help to bring on sleep. a. What mass in grams of tryptophan is in a 0.25-lb serving of turkey? (Assume tryptophan accounts for 1.0% of the turkey mass.) b. What mass in grams of tryptophan is in 0.25 quart of milk? (Assume tryptophan accounts for 2.0% of milk by mass and that the density of milk is 1.04 kg/L.)
Carborundum (silicon carbide), SiC, is a very hard material used as an abrasive on sandpaper and in other applications. It is prepared by the reaction of pure sand, SiO2, with carbon at high temperature. Carbon monoxide, CO, is the other product of this reaction. Write the balanced equation for this reaction. (Omit states-of-matter from your answer. Use the lowest possible whole number coefficients in the correct number of significant figures.)
