What do fossil fuels like oil and coal contain in small amounts as an impurity?
Sulphur Impurities! Coal and oil contain sulfur impurities. When these fuels burn, the sulfur burns too which releases sulfur dioxide (SO 2) gas. Sulfur dioxide causes breathing problems for living creatures and contributes to acid rain.
What impurities in fuels can lead to a sort of rain?
sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide can lead to acid rain
When fuels burn what element present in the impurities in a fossil fuel may produce sulfur dioxide?
Sulfur.
How do the combustion of some impurities in hydrocarbon fuels result in the formation of sulfur dioxide?
Sulfur dioxide is the product of burning (oxidation) of organosulfur compounds from fossil fuels.
What is sulfuric acid weathering?
Sulphur acid may be produced when rainwater combines with sulphur dioxide in the atmosphere. Sulphur dioxide may be produced by the burning of fossil fuels and through volcanic eruptions. Sulphur acid weathers rock by solution.
What gases and given out when fossil fuels are burnt?
Gasses produced from fossil fuels are many, such as what was known as coal gas (acetylene), CO2, CO, and many others that are formed with impurities found in fossil fuels as sulphur which can produces several toxic gasses within itself.

How fossil fuels contain sulphur?
I'm trying to find out. hope this helps. O.
When fuels burn what element present in the impurities in a fossil fuel may produce sulfur dioxide?
Sulfur.
What substances responsible for acid precipitation are released into the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels?
Oxides of nitrogen and sulphur.
How does burning contribute to acid rain?
It contributes by the burning of fossil fuels like coal that realeases sulphur
Do fossil fuels produce CO2 and water when they burn?
Yes. Burning fossil fuels can also produce carbon monoxide as well as lesser amounts of sulfur and nitrogen oxides from impurities present in the fuel.
What is the problem with sulphur in fossil fuels?
Sulphur in fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) causes problems because when the fuel is burnt, sulphur dioxide is produced. This gas mixes with water vapour and rain in the atmosphere and falls as acid rain. Acid rain damages soils, crops, lakes, fish stocks and even buildings.
How do the combustion of some impurities in hydrocarbon fuels result in the formation of sulfur dioxide?
Sulfur dioxide is the product of burning (oxidation) of organosulfur compounds from fossil fuels.
What human activities relase sulphur dioxide carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen to the atmosphere?
Burning of fossil fuels
What causes acid rain to increase?
Further use of fossil fuels especially those with a high sulphur content.
