Which of these is a colorless and reactive gas produced when fuels such as coal and oil are burned?
sulfur dioxide
The removal of sulfur from fossil fuels before they are burned?
It is called desulfurization, and if you don't do it at the refinery your fuel will make sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid when it burns. If you're running un-desulfurized diesel in a new truck, there's a big filter in your exhaust system that will get ruined.
Why is sulfur dioxide produced when fuels are burnt?
Fossil fuels contain sulfur in their compound, which can be oxidized to form sulfur dioxide while burning:Sufur + Oxygen --> Sulfur dioxide(or)S+O2--> SO2SO2 is a harmful and highly reactive gas, which can react with atmospheric water and may cause acid rain.
Which pollutant is reduced by using low sulfur fuels?
sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid
How do the combustion of some impurities in hydrocarbon fuels result in the formation of sulfur dioxide?
Sulfur dioxide is the product of burning (oxidation) of organosulfur compounds from fossil fuels.
Why do fossil fuels produce sulfur dioxide when burned?
fossil fuels produce sulfur dioxide when burned because sulfur is present in them. things like coal which is carbon or gas which is a hydrocarbon are examples of this. fossil fuels are bad because sulfur dioxide causes acid rain. hope this helps :)
Why are sulfur and its compounds being removed from natural gas and petroleum before they are burned?
The burning of fossil fuels containing sulfur compounds results in the production of sulfur dioxide. Sulfur dioxide combines with water in the atmosphere to produce sulfuric acid in the form of acid rain. Sulfur dioxide harmful to anyone who breathes it, and acid rain causes damage to property and natural systems such as rivers and forests.
Which of these is a colorless and reactive gas produced when fuels such as coal and oil are burned?
sulfur dioxide
What gas is formed when sulfur burns?
Sulfur dioxide is formed when fuels containing sulfur compounds are burned
Is Acid rain created when sulfur-rich fuels are burned and the resulting gas combines with water?
true

Why are low sulphur fuels good?
A gas, sulfur dioxide, is released from fuels containing sulfur. Both coal and oil may contain some sulfur. Sulfur dioxide can cause breathing problems. Sulfur dioxide can combine with water vapor to create acid rain, destroying vegetation in lakes and forests. I do not agree that burning low sulfur fuels is good, just less harmful than high sulfur fuels. See related links.
What is the primary source of sulfur dioxide?
Volcanoes produce more sulfur dioxide than any other cause. Some sulfur dioxide is also release from the burning of sulfur-rich fossil fuels.
What are the Carbon Neutral Fuels?
They are fuels that, when burned, have no carbon emmisions.

How are fossil fuels converted into usable energy?
All fossil fuels have to be removed from underground:coal - dug outoil - drilled down to then pumped up from undergroundnatural gas - collected into wells that are cappedfracked gas - fracked from within rocks underground and extracted to the surfaceAll fossil fuels must be heated and burned to release usable energy.
What is in fossil fuels?
In a fossil fuel is different fuels that have been burned
