Exhausts can also contain Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) from impurities in the fuel, but only 3% of the total emissions of this substance come from transport, the rest mainly from industry and power generation.

What is the chemical compound name for SO2?
If it is bonded to a metal, then it is a polyatomic ion, sulfite If it is alone, then it is sulfur dioxide
Gas formed when sulfur burns in air?
Sulfur dioxide, SO2
How does sulfur dioxide affect air pollution?
Sulfur dioxide is a gas. It is invisible and has a nasty, sharp smell. It reacts easily with other substances to form harmful compounds, such as sulfuric acid, sulfurous acid and sulfate particles.About 99% of the sulfur dioxide in air comes from human sources. The main source of sulfur dioxide in the air is industrial activity that processes materials that contain sulfur, eg the generation of electricity from coal, oil or gas that contains sulfur. Some mineral ores also contain sulfur, and sulfur dioxide is released when they are processed. In addition, industrial activities that burn fossil fuels containing sulfur can be important sources of sulfur dioxide.Sulfur dioxide is also present in motor vehicle emissions, as the result of fuel combustion. In the past, motor vehicle exhaust was an important, but not the main, source of sulfur dioxide in air. However, this is no longer the case.
Does sulfur dioxide increase or decrease the temperature of the atmosphere?
sulfur dioxide decreases temperature because it is a heavy gas
Is Nitrogen Dioxide a brown gas?
Yes it is, its not sulfur dioxide or carbon dioxide or nitric Oxide.
What kind of oxide is sulfur dioxide?
Sulfur dioxide is a toxic gas.
What and where is a catalytic converter on a car?
It is part of the exhaust system. It can be anywhere between the exhaust manifold and the muffler. It is usually half way between the manifold and the muffler. Some cars have two. The purpose of the converter is to change the carbon monoxide in the exhaust to sulfur dioxide. Carbon monoxide is a greenhouse gas and sulfur dioxide is not.
Why gas would be pouring out of exhaust pipe?
hydrocarbons (unburned) carbon monoxide carbon dioxide nitrogen oxides sulfur dioxide phosphorus lead and other metals
How are a sulfur molecule and a sulphur dioxide molecule similar?
Both contain sulphur atoms. Elemntal sulfur is most commonly found as S8, a ring molecule, wheras sulfur dioxide, SO2, is a gas.
What is sulfur monoxide?
You probably mean sulfur monoxide, SO. This is a gas that is not found very often, and when it is found, it is the dilute gas phase. If it gets more concentrated, it turns into disulfur dioxide, S2O2.

What gas is found in magma?
Magma contains a variety of gasses, the most common of which are water vapor, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide.
What is a sulfur dioxide?
SO2 a gas
Is sulphur dioxide the same as sulphur?
No, sulfur is an element and sulfur dioxide is a gaseous compound. Sulfur dioxide is the combustion product of sulfur in an oxygen atmosphere (S+O2 --> SO2) Where sulfur is an element, sulfur dioxide is a compound and where sulfur is an insoluble yellow solid, sulfur dioxide is a colorless soluble gas.
Gas formed when sulfur burns in air?
Sulfur dioxide, SO2
Which gas is made when sulfur react with oxygen?
Sulfur dioxide (SO2)
