Does sulphure dioxide burn?
Yes: With a sufficient supply of oxygen, sulphur dioxide will burn to form sulphur trioxide.
What is no2 so2 and so3?
SO3 = sulphur dioxide O2= oxygen SO3 = sulphur trioxide SO3- = sulphite that should be it .... right? :)
When sulfur burns in air does it make sulfur oxide or sulfur dioxide?
It makes Sulphur Dioxide. and little Sulphur Trioxide.
Is sulfur trioxide a primary or secondary pollutant?
Coal and oli contain sulphur. When either one burns, it produces sulphur dioxide. The sulphur dioxide gradually turns into sulphur trioxide which mixes with rain and becomes acid rain. It is easy to remove the sulphur in refineries or power plants.
Why sulfur trioxide triangular while sulfur dioxide is bent?
In sulphur dioxide one of the two lone pairs of sulphur is free so it is bent, while in sulphur trioxide both the lone pairs of sulphur are involved in bond formation so it is trigonal molecule.
What is the name of a gas that starts with S?
Sulphur dioxide, Sulphur trioxide...

Sulphar burns with oxygen to form?
When you burn sulphur with oxygen you create sulphur dioxide or sulphur trioxide.

What is the composition of Sulfuric Acid?
H2SO4 [water plus Sulphur Dioxide]. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it Sulphur Trioxide?
What word equation do you get from sulphur and oxygen?
Sulphur and oxygen react to form either sulfur dioxide or sulfur trioxide, depending on reaction conditions.
What is the chemical compound name for SO2?
If it is bonded to a metal, then it is a polyatomic ion, sulfite If it is alone, then it is sulfur dioxide
How do you say that valency of sulphur trioxide is 6?
You don't say that. What you do say is that the valency of sulphur in sulphur trioxide is 6.
What is the name of the compound SO3?
Sulfur tetraoxide 2- SO4 is sulfate
