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?
