Sulphurous acid is formed when sulphur dioxide dissolves in water. Sulphuric acid is formed when sulphur trioxide dissolves in water. Over time, sulphurous acid will oxidize to sulphuric. SO2 + H20 -> H2SO3 (sulphurous acid) SO3 + H20 -> H2SO4 (sulphuric acid)

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 .
What does sulfur dioxide create when it reacts with water droplets in the air?
Sulfur dioxide gas reacts with water droplets in the air to form sulfurous acid, which is sometimes oxidized to sulfuric acid by oxygen in the air.
What happens when sulfur trioxide reacts with water?
H2SO4 is formed
When sulfur in smoke produced by burning coal reacts with water in the air?
phosphoric acid is formed..
Which acid is formed when sulfur dioxide dissolved in water?
It forms Sulphurous Acid

What does sulfur dioxide create when it reacts with water droplets in the air?
Sulfur dioxide gas reacts with water droplets in the air to form sulfurous acid, which is sometimes oxidized to sulfuric acid by oxygen in the air.
Where does sulfur dioxide get its extra oxygen from for acid rain?
Sulfur dioxide reacts with water to form sulfurous acid (SO2 + H2O --> HSO3)
Two waste products formed from burning fuels are?
Carbon dioxide, water, sulfur dioxide
When sulfur in smoke produced by burning coal reacts with water in the air?
phosphoric acid is formed..
Which acid is formed when sulfur dioxide dissolved in water?
It forms Sulphurous Acid
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.
When sulfur dioxide reacts with water droplets in the air it forms a substance that falls back to earth as what?
Acid rain!
Is the burned sulfur mixed with distilled water acid or base?
Burning sulfur in air sulfur dioxide is formed; this gas dissolved in water form an acidic solution.
What solution is formed when sulphur dioxide reacts with water in the atmosphere?
SO2 + H2O ==> H2SO3 Sulphurous acid is formed.
