Question- A plant makes liquid CO2 by treating dolomite limestone with commercial sulfuric acid. The dolomite analyzes 68% CaCO3; 30% MgCO3 and 2.0% SiO2. The acid used is 94% H2SO4 and 6% H2O. Calculate-
1) Pounds of CO2 produced per ton dolomite treated.
2) Pounds of acid used per ton of dolomite treated.
My major issue is that I think I have to contain a balanced reaction in order to do the calculations.
