In principle, is this reaction a feasible method of removing SO2 from power-plant emissions? View Available Hint(s) In principle, is this reaction a feasible method of removing from power-plant emissions? No; the reaction is highly spontaneous at 298 K, but a significant amount of SO2 will remain at equilibrium. Yes; the reaction is highly spontaneous at 298 K, even though a significant amount of SO2 will remain at equilibrium. Yes; the reaction is highly spontaneous at 298 K and almost no SO2 will remain at equilibrium. No; the reaction is not spontaneous at 298 K, even though almost no SO2 will remain at equilibrium. No; the reaction is not spontaneous at 298 K and a significant amount of SO2 will remain at equilibrium.

The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

The reaction:

SO_2 (g) + 2 H2S (g) <=> 3 S(s) + 2 H2O(g)

is the basis of a suggested method for removal of {SO2} from power-plant stack gases.

Kp = 8×10^15

In principle, is this reaction a feasible method of removing SO_2 from power-plant emissions?

1. No; the reaction is highly spontaneous at 298 K, but a significant amount of SO2 will remain at equilibrium.

2. Yes; the reaction is highly spontaneous at 298 K, even though a significant amount of SO2 will remain at equilibrium.

3. Yes; the reaction is highly spontaneous at 298 K and almost no SO2 will remain at equilibrium.

4. No; the reaction is not spontaneous at 298 K, even though almost no SO2 will remain at equilibrium.

5. No; the reaction is not spontaneous at 298 K and a significant amount of SO2 will remain at equilibrium.

3. Yes; the reaction is highly spontaneous at 298 K and almost no SO2 will remain at equilibrium

Explanation:

Looking at the Kp of the of the reaction, we expect that almost no sulphur IV oxide should remain at equilibrium. The Kp has a a large value of 8×10^15 which indicates that the reaction should proceed to completion. The reaction is also spontaneous at 298K.

practical process described pest part of scientific investigation.

because practical knowledge is powerful then therotical knowledge.
