What burns to form acidic gas?
Burning coal produces sulphur dioxide, which is an acidic gas.
What do fossil fuels like oil and coal contain in small amounts as an impurity?
Sulphur Impurities! Coal and oil contain sulfur impurities. When these fuels burn, the sulfur burns too which releases sulfur dioxide (SO 2) gas. Sulfur dioxide causes breathing problems for living creatures and contributes to acid rain.
What element burns with a blue flame and gives off a highly acidic gas?
sulphur S + O2 = SO2
When butane burns it combines with oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide and water which two element must be present in butane?
Carbon dioxide contains carbon and oxygen. Water contains hydrogen and water. Therefore, to combine with oxygen to form CO2 and H2O, butane must contain carbon and hydrogen.
What is the balanced equation for the combustion of H2S?
Sulphur burns in Oxygen to form Sulphur dioxide in the following reaction: S+O2=SO2 Sulphur dioxide has a capability of reacting with oxygen to form Sulphur trioxide in the following reaction: 2SO2+O2=2SO3 By Prince Sambo Metallurgist
Is sulfur trioxide a primary or secondary pollutant?
Coal and oli contain sulphur. When either one burns, it produces sulphur dioxide. The sulphur dioxide gradually turns into sulphur trioxide which mixes with rain and becomes acid rain. It is easy to remove the sulphur in refineries or power plants.
Sulphar burns with oxygen to form?
When you burn sulphur with oxygen you create sulphur dioxide or sulphur trioxide.
When sulfur burns in air does it make sulfur oxide or sulfur dioxide?
It makes Sulphur Dioxide. and little Sulphur Trioxide.
What happens when sulfur burns to make sulfur Dioxide?
it mixes with clouds and creates acid rain
Can sulfur burn?
Sulphur burns in air (oxygen ) to give sulphur dioxide. S + O2 ---> SO2
Substance produced when sulfur burns in air?
The product of this reaction is the sulphur dioxide - SO2.
What burns to form acidic gas?
Burning coal produces sulphur dioxide, which is an acidic gas.
What is formed when sulphur burns in oxegyen?
S + O2 = SO2 You get Sulphur Dioxide (It smells like burnt matches and is a poisonous gas). Lots of it is released by volcanoes.
Why does a power-station owner prefer to buy a low-sulphur coal than ordinary coal?
The sulphur in fuels produces sulphur dioxide when it burns, which is a major cause of acid rain. Low sulphur fuels are less polluting.
What is balanced chemical equation when carbon disulphide burns in air to give carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide?
Cs2 + 3 o2 → co2 + 2 so2
What one of these changes is reversable old rock is heated to form a different rock sulphur burns to form sulphur dioxide water is heated to form water vapour?
