Explain the sulfur is converted first to so2

Reference no: EM13654964

Acid rain is caused in part by burning coal that contains sulfur impurities. The sulfur is converted first to SO2, which reacts with oxygen and atmospheric moisture to produce sulfuric acid, H2SO4. If a particular coal contains 2.9% sulfur (by mass), calculate the mass of sulfuric acid produced by burning a metric ton (1000 kg) of the coal
