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.
What else can I help you with?
Is titanium dioxide a acid or base?
No. Only metals form basic oxides however not aluminium.
Is salt an acid or a base?
Salt is neither an acid nor a base. It is a neutral compound formed from the reaction of an acid and a base.
Is water in acid or base?
Water is neutral, with a pH of 7. It is not an acid or a base.
Is salt a base or acid?
It is neither. It is a neutral substance when solvated in water.
What do you add to a base to make it neutral?
You add an acid to a base to neutralize it. The acid and base react to form water and a salt, resulting in a neutral solution.
Is titanium dioxide a acid or base?
No. Only metals form basic oxides however not aluminium.
Is salt an acid or a base?
Salt is neither an acid nor a base. It is a neutral compound formed from the reaction of an acid and a base.
When coal is burnt in power stations which oxides can be released which can react with water vapour in clouds to form acid rain?
the sulphur is a base in fossil fuels (in this case coal). when the coal burns the sulphur reacts with the oxygen in the air to produce sulphur dioxide which reacts with water vapour to form acid rain
