A typical frostless refrigerator uses 655 kWh of energy per year in the form of electricity. Suppose that all of this electricity is generated at a power plant that burns coal containing 3.3% sulfur by mass and that all of the sulfur is emitted as SO2 when the coal is burned.If all of the SO2 goes on to react with rainwater to form H2SO4, what mass of H2SO4 is produced by the annual operation of the refrigerator? (Hint: Assume that the remaining percentage of the coal is carbon and begin by calculating ΔH∘rxn for the combustion of carbon.)

Express your answer using two significant figures.

    A typical coal-fired electric generating plant will burn about 3 metric tons of coal per hour. Most of the coal burned in the United States contains 1 to 4 % by weight sulfur in the form of pyrite, which is oxidized as the coal burns: 4FeS2(s) + 11 O2(g) 2 Fe2O3(s) + 8 SO2(g) Once in the atmosphere, the SO2 is oxidized to SO3, which then reacts with water in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid: SO3(g) + H2O(l) H2SO4(aq)...
