What happens when sulfur reacts with nitric acid?
S + HNO3 = SO2 + NO2 + H2OWhen Sulfur reacts with nitric acid it forms sulfur dioxide , nitrogen dioxide and water .
Which gives sulfur dioxide when heated in air?
Burning elemental sulfur in air will create sulfur dioxide.
What is made during sulfur dioxide pollution?
acid rain; SO2, i.e. sulfur dioxide, reacts with water to produce H2SO3, or sulfurous acid, which then reacts with oxygen to form sulphuric acid (H2SO4), and dissolves in rain to fall as acid rain
What is a cause of acid rain from burning coal?
All coal has some amount of sulfur in it. The sulfur burns into sulfur dioxide, which reacts with water to make sulfurous acid in the rain.
What is one atom of sulfur reacts with one molecule of oxygen to form one molecule of sulfur dioxide?
The chemical reaction is:S + O2 = SO2
When sulfur dioxide reacts with water droplets in the air it forms a substance that falls back to earth as what?
Acid rain!
What happens when sulfur reacts with nitric acid?
S + HNO3 = SO2 + NO2 + H2OWhen Sulfur reacts with nitric acid it forms sulfur dioxide , nitrogen dioxide and water .
When sulfur reacts with air to give sulfur dioxide what is it called?
"oxidation"
What happens when sulfur burns in oxygen?
yes,sulphur reacts with oxygen forming sulphur dioxide. s+o2------->so2
When sulfur dioxide reacts with water droplets in the air it forms a substance that falls back to earth?
Sulfur dioxide reacts with droplets of airborne water to form 'Acid Rain'. Oddly, acid rain has been found to decrease the amount of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere. So, it can be said with some truth that the great reduction in acid rain in the US since the '70s may have resulted in a warmer climate, incorrectly called global warming.
Which gives sulfur dioxide when heated in air?
Burning elemental sulfur in air will create sulfur dioxide.
Where does sulfur dioxide get its extra oxygen from for acid rain?
Sulfur dioxide reacts with water to form sulfurous acid (SO2 + H2O --> HSO3)
Why is sulfur burning a chemical change?
When sulfur burns it reacts with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide, which is an entirely different substance from sulfur or oxygen.
What would cause temperatures to cool after a volcanic eruption?
Explosive volcanic eruptions tend to release sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere. That sulfur dioxide reacts with moisture to form tiny droplets of sulfuric acid in the upper atmosphere, which reflect some sunlight back into space, reducing the amount of energy that reaches Earth's surface.

How does nitric acid (HNO3) form?
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) reacts with OH in the atmosphere to form nitric acid (HNO3). Nitric acid can also form when nitrogen dioxide (NO2) reacts with the nitrate radical (NO3) in the presence of atmospheric water
