What does NOx and SO2 do to the environment?
It can combine with the air and make acid rain.
What does nox and sox mean?
NOx and SOx are the terms used to indicate the general oxides of nitrogen (NO, NO2, N2O2, etc.) and the general oxides of sulfur (SO2, SO3, etc.) when discussing air pollution, rather than specify any one of the family or list them all.
What three states led the nation in SO2 emissions in 2004?
In 2004 (as well as in years past), Ohio, followed by Pennsylvania and Indiana, lead the nation in SO2 emissions. These same three states lead in NOx emissions as well. (Consumer Science 1. McGraw-Hill Create p. 205). Answer: Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana
Does coal release less toxins than natural gas?
Coal releases more toxins than natural gas. Throughout its life cycle, coal releases mercury, arsenic, thallium, barium, lead, and a host of other toxic heavy metals into the air and groundwater. These are toxins that are not associated with natural gas. In addition, burning coal releases more toxic gasses than any other fuel known to man: For each MWh of electricity generated, Coal releases 2249lbs CO2, 13lbs SO2, 6lbs NOx Gas releases 1135lbs CO2, 0.1lbs SO2, 1.7lbs NOx Oil releases 1672lbs CO2, 12lbs SO2, 4lbs NOx In fact, natural gas is much, much cleaner than coal. SO2 is a controlled pollutant that causes acid rain, and NOx forms a number of toxins, which are responsible for a host of health issues, from asthma to stroke, to heart failure. Although coal has reduced its toxic output in recent years, it started with more than all other fuels, and has reduced its emissions less than all other fuels. For instance, from 2004-2008, the following percent reductions in power plant emissions took place: SO2 NOx coal 23.6% 17.2% gas 84.9% 25.1% oil 53.3% 30.4% *all info from US EPA, double checked with other sources.
Chemical weathering by water?
Oxidation (The bonding of oxygen to iron in the presence of water) Carbonation (Water + Carbon dioxide --> Carbonic acid) Acid Rain (SO2 or NOx + Water --> Acid Rain) All of the above will cause chemical weathering

How do you make acid rain quickly and easily?
Release large amounts of SO2 and NOx into the air. Those substances combine with water vapor in the atmosphere to form acid rain.
What are the primary air pollutants?
The five primary air pollutants are carbon monoxide(CO), nitrogen oxides(NOx), sulfur dioxide(SO2), volatile organic(VOCs), and particulate matter(particulates or PM). ------->From natasha, FL lolx

What acids are made from SO2 and NOx?
In solution, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, respectively. These acids are found in acid rain, where the gaseous compounds become dissolved in falling rain.

How many moles of SO2 is present in 0.45 grams of sulfur dioxide?
1 mole SO2 = 64.064g SO2 0.45g SO2 x 1mol SO2/64.064g SO2 = 0.0070 mole SO2

How many SO2 molecules are in 1.75 mol of SO2?
1.75 moles SO2 x 6.02x10^23 molecules SO2/mole SO2 = 1.05x10^24 molecules
What is the name of the formula SO2?
SO2 is Sulphut Dioxide.
How do I calculate diesel generator emissions?
From AP-42 . Chapter 3.1 , Table 3.3-1 Multiply power by AP-42 factor Example for NOx: 300 HP * (0.031 lb/HP-hr ) = 9.3 lb/hr Apply the same method for SO2, PM10 and CO Factors : SO2 = 0.00205 CO = 0.0068 PM10 = 0.0022 Good Look...!
