What is the reaction sulfuric acid into sulfur dioxide?

When sulfuric acid is heated, it decomposes into sulfur trioxide and water vapor. Sulfur trioxide then reacts with water in the air to form sulfuric acid and sulfur dioxide.


How long does the smell of sulfuric acid typically linger in the air?

The smell of sulfuric acid can linger in the air for several hours to a few days, depending on factors such as ventilation and concentration.

Is sulfuric acid air pollution?

Yes, sulfuric acid can contribute to air pollution when it is released into the atmosphere. It can react with other compounds to form sulfur dioxide, which is a common air pollutant known to contribute to acid rain and respiratory issues.

How is sulfuric acid related to acid?

Sulfuric Acid is an oxoacid of sulfur and is made of Hydrogen, Sulfur and Oxygen. It is produced by burning sulfur in air to produce Sulfur Dioxide, and then oxidizing the Sulfur Dioxide to Sulfur Trioxide. Sulfuric Acid can then be made from Sulfur Trioxide.


Why does exposure to atmospheric pollution change basic lead II carbonate into lead II sulphate?

Polluted air contains oxides of sulfur, which dissolve in water to form stronger (more ionized) acids than the carbonic acid from which carbonates are derived. Therefore, the sulfuric and/or sulfurous acids formed by water and polluted air displace the carbonates as carbon dioxide, according to the ionic equation (for sulfuric acid): CO3-2 + H2SO4 -> SO4-2 + H2O + CO2.

Why is a sample of air passed through concentrated sulphuric acid?

A sample of air is passed through concentrated sulfuric acid to remove moisture. Sulfuric acid is a strong dehydrating agent that can absorb water vapor from the air, allowing for the collection of a dry sample that is free from moisture.
