Coal of \( 2.4 \) per cent sulphur is burnt at \( 500 \) tonnes a day with complete conversion to sulphur dioxide. The daily emission is

  • A.24.0 tonnes
  • B.12.0 tonnes
  • C.48.0 tonnes
  • D.6.0 tonnes

Answer: A

The sulphur is \( 500 \times 0.024 = 12 \) tonnes, and each tonne of sulphur gives two tonnes of sulphur dioxide because the molecular masses are 32 and 64. Emissions therefore scale directly with the fuel's sulphur content.
