Calculate the mass of sulphur dioxide gas produced when one tonne (1000 kg) of coal burns in air, given the following information?
a) Coal contains 3% by mass of sulphur
b) All the sulphur in the coal is converted to sulphur dioxide gas by reaction with oxygen in the air.
How do I figure this out? Thanks.
