Sulfer Dioxide is a chemical used in wastewater to remove chlorine from wastewater effluent, usually before discharging into a body of water. when placed in solution it creates sulfuric acid, which can be used for various laboratory tests. Also, when Sulphur Dioxide gas, released into the air, comes into contact with water, rain, they mix forming Sulfuric Acid [H2SO4] contributing to the acid rain problem.
Also, if an air breathing creature, including Man, breathes Sulphur Dioxide gas, it will combine with the water in the mucus in the eyes, nasal passages, windpipe, and lungs, again forming Sulfuric Acid, which can cause severe tissue burns, acute pulmomary edema [leaking body fluid], and even result in death. If one who is working heavily, and thus sweating profusely, comes into contact with Sulfur Dioxide gas, again , acid is formed, which will result in severe itching, burning of the skin, and within a few days, peeling of the outer skin layer(s), much like a very severe sunburn. === ===

∙ 9y agoSulfur Dioxide is a poisonous gas,When the fumes of sulfur dioxide are released in the atmosphere it combines with the normal rain to form Sulfuric acid(acid rain).When this acid rain comes down it lowers the pH of lakes and ponds,Which causes the gills of the fish to suffocate.It also leaches aluminum ions out of the soil and causes the trees to wither and die.When it reaches the city area it destroys the buildings and stoneworks.
Burning coal (a fossil fuel) releases carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide.
No. sulphur dioxide has polar covalent bond and is a polar covalent compound.
No
They are Carbon-dioxide and Sulphur Dioxide
what kind of chemical could be used to remove the acidic sulphur dioxide from flue gases
The difference between sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide is that there are 2 molecules of oxygen present in sulphur dioxide (SO2) and there are 3 molecules of oxygen are present in sulphur trioxide (SO3).
It is a mineral. Sulphur dioxide certainly is not a lipid.
volcanoes usually release sulphur dioxide, after an eruption.
Burning coal (a fossil fuel) releases carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide.
Sulphur dioxide is a reducing agent and is used for bleaching and as a fumigant and food preservative. Large quantities of sulphur dioxide are used in the contact process for the manufacture of sulphuric acid. Sulphur dioxide is used in bleaching wool or straw, and as a disinfectant. Liquid sulphur dioxide has been used in purifying petroleum products
It is a compound.The chemical formula for sulphur dioxide is SO2. It is made of elements sulphur and oxygen. So it is a compound.
sulphur dioxide
Yes: With a sufficient supply of oxygen, sulphur dioxide will burn to form sulphur trioxide.
No. sulphur dioxide has polar covalent bond and is a polar covalent compound.
Sulphur dioxide, Sulphur trioxide...
Sulphur.
It makes Sulphur Dioxide. and little Sulphur Trioxide.
