Question:

A certain sample of coal contains 1.6 percent sulfur by mass. When the coal is burned, the sulfur is converted to sulfur dioxide. To prevent air pollution, this sulfur dioxide is treated with calcium oxide (CaO) to form calcium sulfite (CaSO3). Calculate the daily mass (in kilograms) of CaO needed by a power plant that uses 6.60 × 106 kg of coal per day.
