Sulphur dioxide (SO2) reacts with oxygen in the air to form sulphurous acid (H2SO3). This reaction occurs when SO2 dissolves in water, creating a weak acid known as sulphurous acid. Sulphurous acid is commonly found in the atmosphere as a result of industrial processes and volcanic emissions.

Why is aqueous SO2 is referred as sulphurous acid?
In water SO2 reacts to form H2SO3 which is sulfurous acid.
Is magnesium a metal or a non-metal when it has reacted with oxygen?
When magnesium has reacted with oxygen, it form a white powder which is neither metal nor non-metal, but is a compound. This is also known as a metal oxide.
Where did the oxygen and ozone in your atmosphere come from according to this theory?
Oxygen when came in contact with UV broke down. It then reacted with more oxygen to form ozone.
Hypothetically speaking could Oxygen combine with GABA gamma-aminobutyric acid in unstable Hydroxyl form Just as oxygen sticks to blood?
Yes, oxygen could combine with the Gaba Gamma-Aminobutyric acid in unstable hydroxyl form.
What is an oxidized element?
An "Oxidised Element" is any element that has reacted with Oxygen to form a compound. The compound suffixes of these compounds will be "Oxide, Monoxide, Dioxide, Trioxide" etc. Some examples of oxidised elements:Iron + Oxygen --> Iron OxideCarbon + Oxygen --> Carbon DioxideMagnesium + Oxygen --> Magnesium Oxide
Is H2SO3 acid?
Sulphurous acid (H2SO3) is a liquid at room temperature and normal air pressure.
Why is aqueous SO2 is referred as sulphurous acid?
In water SO2 reacts to form H2SO3 which is sulfurous acid.
What is a Type of acid that is caused by pollutants that combine with water in the air?
Sulphur dioxide mixes with water vapour to form sulphurous and sulphuric acid.
What acids are produced by the gases sulfur and nitrogen?
Sulphur is not a gas at room temperature. Nitrogen does not form an acid as such. They both need reacting with other chemicals, typically oxygen, then dissolving in (usually) water to form acids, Depending on the conditions and reactives involved there are numerous acids. The most common are: Sulphuric acid Sulphurous acid Nitric acid Nitrous acid But there are others, depending on the situation.
Why is sulfur dioxide considered as an acid oxide?
Sulphur dioxide dissolves in wter to form the acid , Sulphurous Acid (H2SO3). Note the spelling and the formula. NB Sulphur trioxide will also dissolve in water to form sulphuric acid (H2SO4). NNB Non-metal oxides produce acids. and metal oxides produce bases /alkalis.
What is form when ethane is reacted with oxygen?
If there is a sufficient amount of oxygen, the products are carbon dioxide and water. With proper catalysis and control of reaction conditions, ethanol, ethanal, and/or ethanoic acid could also be formed.
What happens when iron nail reacts with acetic acid?
there are no changes because the metal has already reacted with oxygen to form a metal oxide reaction is done.
Which element would form a covalent bond when reacted with oxygen?
sulfur
How does ammonia help salt form?
It only forms salt when it is reacted with an acid
What do you call carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide?
They are both acidic gases. Reason, when dissolved in water they form carbonic acid(H2CO3) and sulphurous acid(H2SO3)
How could you prove that something is hydrogen?
If it reacted with oxygen then it would form water
Does sulfur dissolve in water to produce an alkaline solution?
NO!!! Sulphur is combusted /burnt in air(oxygen) to form sulphur dioxide. Sulphur dioxide is soluble in water , and forms sulphurous acid (H2SO3).
