General Questions

These questions are not explicitly keyed to chapter topics; many require integration of several concepts.

Worldwide, about 100. million metric tons of H2S are produced annually from sources that include the oceans, bogs, swamps, and tidal flats. One of the major sources of SO2 in the atmosphere is the oxidation of H2S, produced by the decay of organic matter. The reaction in which H2S molecules are oxidized to SO2 involves O3. Write an equation showing that one molecule of each reactant combines to form two product molecules, one of them being SO2. Then calculate the annual production in tons of H2SO4, assuming all of this SO2 is converted to sulfuric acid.
