calcium carbonate %
« on: November 29, 2004, 11:29:31 PM »
Hello,

I am a beginner, and I am not really sure how to do this problem, even with the hint. Any help is appreciated.

Assume that the wet limestone process requires 1 metric ton of calcium carbonate to remove
+ 25.0 % of the sulfur from 4 metric tons of coal containing + 1.0 % S Assume that
the sulfur product is calcium sulfate. Calculate the percentage of the limestone converted
to calcium sulfate.

Hint given by prof: Calculate The number of mol of S collected and then the needed calcium carbonate.

what is the equation for the chemical reaction?

what is the stoichiometric ratio of sulphur reacted to calcium carbonate?
