Answer:
49.54 g
Explanation:
Let's take the masses of both calcium sulfate and sulfur dioxide formed.
Sulfur dioxide = 32 + 2(16) = 64 g
Calcium sulfate = 40 + 32 + 4(16) = 136 g
So, under ideal conditions, to produce 136 g of Calcium sulfate, we require 64 g of Sulfur dioxide.
But, it mentions the process is only 95% efficient.
Hence, taking the ratio :
[tex]\frac{64}{136} = \frac{0.95x}{100}[/tex]
[tex]0.95x = \frac{64 \times 100}{136}[/tex]
[tex]0.95x = \frac{6400}{136}[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{800}{17} \times \frac{20}{19}[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{16000}{323}[/tex]
x = 49.54 g (approximately)
