The chemical reaction is:
2 SO2 + O2 ↔ 2 SO3
S+O2 ---> SO2 ( Sulphur Dioxide )
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.
When sulfur is burning, it reacts with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide. The chemical formula for sulfur dioxide is SO2.
Yes, it is composed of three oxygen atoms and has the chemical formula O3.
Yes: With a sufficient supply of oxygen, sulphur dioxide will burn to form sulphur trioxide.
Yes, because it is comprised of both sulphur and oxygen. :)
Sulfur dioxide SO2 (written with two capitals)
The chemical equation for sulphur dioxide is SO2, where one atom of sulfur is bonded to two atoms of oxygen. This compound is a colorless gas with a pungent odor, often produced by the combustion of sulfur-containing fossil fuels.
S+O2 ---> SO2 ( Sulphur Dioxide )
H2SO4 [water plus Sulphur Dioxide]. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it Sulphur Trioxide?
Sulphur dioxide is made up of two(2) elements. They are Sulphur and Oxygen. They are both found in the Periodic Table. Their chemical combination is one sulphur(S) and two oxygens(O). Its chemical formula is 'SO2'. Their structural arrangement is 'O=S=O', That is each oxygen has a 'double bond to the sulphur. As the name suggests , it is ONE sulphur and TWO (oxygens ( di-oxide). It combines with water to form sulphurous acid (Note the spelling) H2SO3. NB For information there is also another sulphur/oxygen gas, viz. sulphur trioxide (SO3). This gas dissolves in water to form sulphuric acid (H2SO4) The chemical reaction equation is SO3 + H2O = H2SO4 .
The chemical formula for carbon dioxide is CO2.
