Acid-Base Reactions in Solution: Crash Course Chemistry #8

Last week, Hank talked about how stuff mixes together in solutions. Today, and for the next few weeks, he will talk about the actual reactions happening in those solutions - atoms reorganizing themselves to create whole new substances in the processes that make our world the one we know and love. This week, we focus on acids and bases and their proton-exchanging ways.

    Funny chemistry story (actually, not really, lab safety ain't no joke kids...): I once had my shirt disintegrated off me. A classmate walked right behind me and I didn't know he was there and I bumped into him. I don't remember the concentration, but unfortunately for me he was carrying a tray with phosphoric acid. It wasn't life threatening but about an hour later while riding the bus home, I was feeling a little itchy on my shoulder where the acid spilled on me. I reached back to scratch it and my shirt just started...well...disintegrating at the touch. I lost the whole upper right side of my shirt. Confused the hell out of the bus driver, who noticed my current state of attire as I was exiting the bus, before she could ask I said, "Don't worry, I just had acid spilled on me in chemistry." I then proceeded to take long and thorough shower as soon as I got home.

    A 'friend of a friend' being funny in class when lab safety was being covered - you know: "don't inhale directly, just waft it towards you", was being a typical asshat and while repeating something to the effect of "ahh, the wafting sensation" was a little too vigorous, and waved too hard, or inhaled too deeply, but definitely knocked himself out. He made a full recovery, and the rest of my High School life was filled with a "enjoy the wafting sensation" joke whenever someone passed gas in that group of friends. As teenage boys, you can image, it was often. Incidentally, we did *not* in fact enjoy it, at all. -Shawn

    Just to make sure I have this right as some of the calculations set out below seem incorrect: For 1 metric ton of coal containing 3% Sulphur the following applies: 30 Kg of Sulphur requires as calculated in the video: 30000 g of S / 32.065 = 935.59956 moles then as 1 mole of S reacts with 1 moles of CaCo3 = 935.59956 * 100.09 = 93644.159 g which is = 93.64 Kg of CaCo3 to fully neutralize it producing 112.431 Kg of CaSo3. Therefore you need ~ 3.12 Kg of CaCo3 to neutralize 1 Kg of Sulphur. Knowing this, the approximate answers would be as follows for 1x10^9 metric tons of coal: The amount of Sulphur produced from 1 metric ton of coal = 30 Kg * 1 billion = 3.0x10^10 Kg of S produced. The amount of CaCo3 needed for 1 metric ton of coal = 93.64 * 1 billion = 9.364x10^10 Kg of CaCo3 needed (which is 3.121 times the amount of Sulphur produced). Finally the amount of CaSo3 produced from 30 Kg of Sulphur reacting with 93.64 Kg of CaCo3 = 112.431 * 1 billion = 1.12431x10^11 Kg of CaSo3 produced. RFM for Sulphur = 32.065 g RFM for CaCo3 = 100.09 g RFM for CaSo3 = 120.17 g Good luck to all!

    The answer to the question in the video: Since a ton (1000kg) of coal produces 30kg of sulfur, a billion tons (1,000,000,000kg) would produce 30,000,000kg (30,000,000,000g) of sulfur. The molar mass for limestone (CaCO3) is 32.1 g/mol. 30,000,000,000 g ÷ 32.1 g/mol = 934,579,439.3 moles of sulfur. Since one mole of sulfur equals one mole of CaCO3 used, 934,579,439.3 moles of limestone is needed. The molar mass of CaCO3 is 100.1 g/mol. 934,579,439.3 mol × 100.1 g/mol = 9.36 × 10^10 g = 93,4441,401.87 kg of CaCO3 93.4 million kilograms (94 thousand tons) of limestone would be used. (sorry I didn't count the significant digits in my calculations. Pls correct me if I had a mistake. Also, after reading this, you may as well guess my age.)

    Be careful with the powers of 10 when converting tons to kilogramms. A billion tons = 1,000,000,000 tons = 1,000,000,000,000 kg = 1,000,000,000,000,000 g (1000^5 or 10^15 grams), so 30,000,000 kg of sulfur that you calculated would be the amount produced by a million tons of coal. For a billion tons of coal approximately 93.6 billion kilograms (96 million tons) of limestone would be needed

I knew I was really interested in chemistry, but not all the details, and found it very hard to find any really great educational shows about it. Hank presents it better than I could have hoped for: it's fun to learn the material. Hank and John are my new heroes - seriously. This material and others like it to follow can completely democratize education. May everyone find out about it.

    I got 320679320.679.

    Your method is correct but you made a mistake on step 1. Find 3% of 1 billion TONNES, not 1 billion. 1 billion tonnes = 10^15g 3% of 10^15g = 3x10^13g Number of S moles in 3x10^13g = 9.36x10^11 moles (might have different answer in this step depending one what value you have for sulfur's relative atomic mass). CaCO3 molar mass = 100.1g (100.1) x (9.36x10^11) = 9.37x10^10kg Convert kg to tonnes (divide by 1000) ~ 9.37x10^7 tonnes of limestone. But yeah otherwise well done. Just remember to check your SI units. :)

As 4 is a smaller number than 4, the correct manner of approximation would be to round downwards to n(S)=9,35*10^11 mol.
