When the reaction equation is:

CaSO3(s) → CaO(s) + SO2(g)

we can see that the molar ratio between CaSO3 & SO2 is 1:1 so, we need to find first the moles SO2.

to get the moles of SO2 we are going to use the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

when P is the pressure =  1.1 atm

and V is the volume = 14.5 L 

n is the moles' number (which we need to calculate)

R ideal gas constant = 0.0821

and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 12.5 + 273 = 285.5 K

so, by substitution:

1.1 * 14.5 L = n * 0.0821 * 285.5

∴ n = 1.1 * 14.5 / (0.0821*285.5)

       = 0.68 moles SO2

∴ moles CaSO3 = 0.68 moles

so we can easily get the mass of CaSO3:

when mass = moles * molar mass

and we know that the molar mass of CaSO3= 40 + 32 + 16 * 3 = 120 g/mol


∴ mass = 0.68 moles* 120 g/mol = 81.6 g

Analyze the importance of chemistry in our society using the branches of chemistry as examples
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Explanation: Well each branch has its own little job especially when it comes to society. First we have the Organic Chemistry Branch It includes the study of all the possible compounds which have carbon in them. Then we have the Inorganic Chemistry Branch, the inorganic compounds find their use in medicine, food, agriculture and also technology. Next we have the  Biochemistry Branch it deals with chemistry happening inside the living bodies of animals and plants. This subject is huge and plays an important role in medicine, agriculture, poultry, fisheries, etc. And finally we have the Physical Chemistry Branch it deals with the physical properties of chemicals or substances. It includes topics like gaseous laws (Dalton law), thermal conduction in liquids, gases, solids. The conductivity of electrolytes (used in batteries) liquids etc. It also deals with processes like sublimation, melting point, boiling point, the crystal structure of compounds, etc.

The nutrition label on the back of a package of hotdogs (purchased within the US) indicates that one hotdog contains 100 calorie
Olenka [21]

Answer:

C. 100

Explanation:

Biochemical researches and studies have found out that an average health hotdog has a calorie of between 100 and 150 which is usually dependent on the additives.

Since the nutrition label on the back of a package of hotdogs (purchased within the US) indicates that one hotdog contains 100 calories then it truly contains such amount of calories. The standard number of calories present in a hotdog is independent of the amount eaten by individuals.
