What else can I help you with?
What causes rainwater to be acidic?
Atmospheric sulfur dioxide that dissolves in it on its way down.
What raw materials are used to make sulfuric acid?
Sulfur dioxide is formed by the combustion of sulfur. One of the principal ways of leakage of sulfur dioxide to air is through the sulfuric acid industry. Another way is the burning of material which are made out of vulcanized rubber that contains sulfur.
How does sulphur dioxide get into the air?
Sulfur dioxide can get into the air through natural processes like volcanic eruptions, as well as through human activities such as burning fossil fuels, industrial processes like metal smelting, and transportation emissions from vehicles.
How do you reduce sulfur dioxide in coal fired power stations?
Using a method called flue gas desulphurisation which involves the addition of a calcium oxide. The calcium oxide basically absorbs the sulphur dioxide on its way out of the flues; economically, useful products are produced such as gypsum which can be used as plaster.
Is carbon dioxide dangerous in any way?
Biologically, 'too much' of it is toxic [poisonous or lethal]; while environmentally, too much of it is [only] one cause of the Greenhouse Effect.
What are the methods that can be used to remove sulfur dioxide gas from the atmosphere?
About the only way sulfur dioxide gas can be removed from the atmosphere is by washing it out with water. But water and sulfur dioxide create sulfuric acid, and you'll have acid rain. There really isn't a "good" way to remove SO2 from the air. It is best to try to keep it out of the air in the first place. Most SO2 enters the air through the burning of fossil fuels with sulfur in them. The so-called "refined" fuels like gasoline don't contain sulfur, but coal and fuel oil and a number of other fuels do. Where coal and fuel oils are used commercially (in large quantity), we try to scrub the stack gases to grab the sulfur, but it is costly and difficult.
How do you stable sulfur?
Sulfur, in its elemental form, is already stable. It does not have to be stabilized or treated in any way to maintain its stability.
How do you separate sand from sulfur?
Sulfur melts at a much lower temperature than sand. That might be useful. Also, there are solvents which will dissolve sulfur but not silicon dioxide. Finally, there's always the magnifying glass and tweezers method.
What and where is a catalytic converter on a car?
It is part of the exhaust system. It can be anywhere between the exhaust manifold and the muffler. It is usually half way between the manifold and the muffler. Some cars have two. The purpose of the converter is to change the carbon monoxide in the exhaust to sulfur dioxide. Carbon monoxide is a greenhouse gas and sulfur dioxide is not.
What type of reaction is S8 8O2 - 8SO2 heat?
Oh, dude, that's a classic combustion reaction! When you mix sulfur with oxygen and add some heat, you get the party started with some sulfur dioxide. It's like chemistry's way of saying, "Let's heat things up and make some smelly gas!"
Are termites dangerous to children in any way?
Yes
How are a mixture and a pure substance alike?
They are not alike in any way, Because of the carbonic sulfur.
