Problem PageQuestionMost of the coal available in the United States is bituminous or "soft" coal, which contains as much as 5% sulfur by weight. When this coal is burned, the sulfur reacts with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide gas. When the sulfur dioxide gas dissolves in raindrops, it forms sulfuric acid. This is how we get acid rain. Here is the reaction that produces sulfur dioxide gas when soft coal is burned:S8s+8O2g→  8SO2gSuppose an engineer decides to study the rate of this reaction. She prepares four reaction vessels with 145.3g of solid sulfur and 35.4g of oxygen gas each. The volume and temperature of each vessel is shown in the table below.Arrange the reaction vessels in decreasing order of initial rate of reaction. In other words, select a "1" next to the vessel in which the engineer can reasonably expect the initial rate of reaction to be highest, a "2" next to the vessel in which the initial rate of reaction would be next highest, and so on.

Question9A power station burns coal to generate electricity for the city. As the coal burns, sulphur that is present in the coal reacts with oxygen to form sulphur dioxide, which is given off as a gas.Fill in the blanks below to explain how this process results in acid rain.Sulphur dioxide will ___A____ in ____B____, which fall back as acid rain to the ocean, lake and land.A: B: NextAsk Barry

When coal is burned, sulfur is released into the air, where it reacts with oxygen to produce sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide. Which of these is true of this process? A. The identity of each reactant remains the same. B. Sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide are the reactants in this change. C. The products have different chemical properties than those of the reactants. D. The products contain more sulfur atoms and fewer oxygen atoms than the reactants.
