Lime reacts with sulfur dioxide to form calcium sulfite

Reference no: EM13156244

Limestone (CaCO3) is used to remove acidic pollutants from smokestack flue gases. It is heated to form lime (CaO), which reacts with sulfur dioxide to form calcium sulfite. Assuming a 70.% yield in the overall reaction, what mass of limestone is required to remove all the sulfur dioxide formed by the combustion of 7.9 104 kg of coal that is 0.33 mass % sulfur?
