I'm wondering what to put down where the (? M) is observed on the following slide [see the Cu-Cu reaction] -- is that the correct balanced equation??
Hydrogen sulfide is an impurity in natural gas that must beremoved. One common removal method is called the Clausprocess, which relies on the reaction:8 H2S1g2 + 4 O21g2¡S81l2 + 8 H2O1g2Under optimal conditions the Claus process gives 98% yield of S8from H2S. If you started with 30.0 g of H2S and 50.0 g of O2, howmany grams of S8 would be produced, assuming 98% yield?
How many oxygen atoms are in 32 moles of CO2?

- You have been tasked with scaling up the capture chromatography step that you designed in lab for the GFPuv process. Your large-scale column will be used to load approximately 100 L of the same clarified lysate. So that you all use the same values in your calculation, assume that you loaded 7.5 CV of clarified lysate to a 45 mL column during development studies. The concentration of GFP in the clarified lysate is 1.89 mg GFP/mL lysate. What is the height of the production column? What diameter of column is required?

- (a) A commercial 737 jet transporting 143 passengersand 5 crew members from Kansas City (MCI) to Baltimore (BWI) burned 11,800 lb (about 1700 gallons)of Jet A fuel en route. Jet A fuel is kerosine based,consisting primarily of CnH2n+2 hydrocarbons, withn: 5 6 to 16, so the carbonhydrogen ratio is close to12. During this flight, how much CO2 was releasedinto the atmosphere? Assume the combustion of thefuel was complete, so all the fuel was burned to formCO2 and H2O. Give both the mass of CO2 produced(in kg and in lbs) and the volume it would occupy at298 K, 1 atm.(b) How much CO2 would be released into the atmosphere if those passengers and crew made the tripinstead, in pairs, in hybrid cars at 40 miles per gallon.Assume the density of the gasoline is 0.75 kg L21andthat carbon and hydrogen dominate the compositionin a ratio of 1:2.
