How are a sulfur molecule and a sulphur dioxide molecule similar?

Both contain sulphur atoms. Elemntal sulfur is most commonly found as S8, a ring molecule, wheras sulfur dioxide, SO2, is a gas.

How the acid rain happens?

Coal is made from trees that died long ago and were covered with dirt that turned to rock. Coal contains the same inorganic elements as trees and in the same percentages. One of those elements is sulphur. When coal burns, it produces a lot of carbon dioxide and a little bit of sulphur dioxide. Power plants and refineries can use scrubbers to remove sulphur dioxide from smoke or they can let it go into the atmosphere. When the sulphur dioxide reaches the atmosphere, it slowly turns into sulphur trioxide. When a molecule of sulphur trioxide meets with a molecule of water vapor, it forms a molecule of sulphuric acid, an extremely powerful acid. This joins other molecules of water to create dilute sulphuric acid. This falls as rain, acid rain. Petroleum also contains sulphur but the sulphur is generally removed in the refining process.


Is sulphur dioxide a hydrocarbonprotienvitamen mineral or lipid?

It is a mineral. Sulphur dioxide certainly is not a lipid.


Which energy sources produce carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide?

Burning coal (a fossil fuel) releases carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide.


Is sulphur dioxide an acid base or neutral?

Sulphur dioxide is an ACIDIC gas. When it is dissolved in water it form the acid ; SULPHUROUS ACID ( H2SO3). Note the spelling and the number of oxygen atoms in combination. NB The oxides of non-metallic elements on the right hand side of the Periodic Table all produce acids. e.g. Carbon Dioxide/Carbonic Acid . Nitrogen dioxide/Nitric Acid, Phosphorus oxides/phossphoric acid. etc., NNNB The metal oxides on the left hand side of the Periodic Table produce bases/alkalis.


Is carbon disulfide made up of atoms or molecules?

Sulfur dioxide is a molecule composed of one sulfur atom bound to two oxygen atoms.


Why is sulphur dioxide produced in petrol engines?

Sulphur dioxide is produced in petrol engines due to the combustion of sulphur-containing compounds present in the fuel. When these compounds are burned, they react with oxygen to form sulphur dioxide as a byproduct, which is then emitted through the exhaust. Reducing the sulphur content in petrol can help minimize the production of sulphur dioxide emissions.


What do you add to sulphur to make sulphur dioxide?

Oxygen!!! However, you do NOT add oxygen, it is combined. Yellow elemental sulphur is heated in a flow of oxygen gas. The product is sulphur dioxide. It has a very acrid/acidic smell, so do NOT breath it in. Sulphur dioxide can be dissolved in water to form Sulphurous Acid. The reaction equation for the combination of sulphur and oxygen is ; - S(s) + O2(g) == heat==> SO2(g) The reaction equation for the combination of sulphur dioxide and water is:- SO2(g) + H2O(l) == H2SO3(aq) NOTE this is sulphurOUS Acid. SulphurIC Acid has the formula ' H2SO4 '. one extra oxygen in combination.


How many atoms does SO2 have?

Each molecule of SO2 (sulphur dioxide) is made up of three atoms (1 sulphur atom and 2 oxygen atoms).
