Answer:
[tex]\boxed{\text{52 840 mol}}[/tex]
Explanation:
Since you have the volume of the gas at STP, we can use the Ideal Gas Law to calculate the number of moles. The identity of the gas doesn't matter.
pV = nRT
n = (pV)/(RT)
Data:
p = 1 bar
V = 1200 m³ = 1.2 × 10⁶ dm³
R = 0.083 14 bar·dm³K⁻¹mol⁻¹
T = 273.15 K
Calculation:
n = (1 bar × 1.2 ×10⁶ dm³)/(0.083 14 bar·dm³K⁻¹mol⁻¹ × 273.15 K)
= 52 840 mol
The power plant releases [tex]\boxed{\text{52 840 mol of SO}_{2}}[/tex].
