When sulphur oxide or nitric oxide is combined with moisture in the air then what is formed?
Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide combine with water to make acid rain. Nitric oxide is neutral but is rapidly oxidised to nitrogen dioxide.
What is the colourless odourless incombustible gas present in the atmosphere and formed during respiration?
Carbon dioxide.
What is formed when carbon dioxide is added to a water solution?
A small amount of carbon dioxide will dissolve in water to produce carbonic acid, a weak acid.
What is formed in the atmosphere when chemicals called volatile organic compound and nitrogen dioxide are acted upon by sunlight?
The products of these reactions are supposed to be contaminants of the atmosphere and possible causes of respiratory diseases.
Name of of the solid formed when zinc is heated with sulphur?
it is a dirty white solid with rotten egg smell soluble in acidic aqueous solution.
What type of acid is formed naturally in the atmosphere?
Carbonic, Sulphurous and Sulphuric acids are formed from Carbon Dioxide and Sulphur Dioxide which are produced naturally as well as from mad-made sources.
What poisonous gas can be formed from sulphur compounds when petrol is burned?
sulphur dioxide is formed from sulphur compounds when petrol is burned
What chemical is formed by removing water from a particular acid?
Sulphur Dioxide.
What are some suggestions for what you can do to prevent acid rain and the damage it causes?
Acid rain is generally formed when sulphur dioxide combines with water in the atmosphere to form sulphuric acid or when nitrogen dioxide combines with water in the atmosphere to form nitric acid. Reducing the amounts of sulphur in gasoline or reducing the likelihood of vehicles creating nitrogen compounds reduces the amount of acid rain.
Which gas is produced when burning sulfur?
an alkaline gas is formed
Is sulfur dioxide acidic?
This is because sulphur dioxide is an acidic oxide. Acidic oxides are formed from non-metals.
What is the compound formed when sulphur reacts with oxygen?
S + O2 --> SO2 sulfer dioxide
How sulphur dioxide would be formed from sulphur in coal?
Combustion is essentially oxidation, i.e. involving oxygen. sulfur bonds with oxygen as it is freed from the matrix of the coal
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.
What was Earths first atmosphere was created by?
The earths first atmosphere was created by the methane, carbon dioxide, sulphur oxides and water vapor that volcanoes were pumping out. Oxygen started to come in noticeable quantities once life had formed. Nitrogen is inert, so doesn't do anything.
What is formed whem Sulfur dioxide reacts with water?
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 gas in the atmosphere was absorbed by the oceans as they formed?
The ocean water absorbed much of the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
