Sulphur Dioxide is a a by-product of (mainly) powerstations that burn fossil fuels to produce the steam ofr the turbines. Sulphur Dioxide combines with water in the atmosphere to produce Sulphuric acid - which falls as 'acid rain.
The chemical process is...
SO2 + OH → HOSO2 - which is followed by...
HOSO2 + O2 → HO2 + SO3
In the presence of water, sulphur trioxide (SO3) is converted rapidly to sulphuric acid... SO3 + H2O → H2SO4
Sulphuric acid is an environmental hazard because it can be corrosive and toxic when released into the environment. It can contaminate soil and water sources, harming aquatic life and vegetation. Additionally, sulphuric acid can contribute to acid rain, which can damage ecosystems and infrastructure.
The systematic name for sulphuric acid is sulfuric acid.
Gold does not react with sulphuric acid under normal conditions. Gold is a noble metal and is resistant to corrosion by acids, including sulphuric acid.
No, sulphuric acid is stronger than sulphurous acid. Sulphuric acid is a strong acid that can fully dissociate in water to release hydrogen ions, while sulphurous acid is a weak acid that only partially dissociates.
The word equation for the reaction between aluminium hydroxide and sulphuric acid is: aluminium hydroxide + sulphuric acid → aluminium sulphate + water.
Yes. In fact sulphuric acid is the main body of what makes up acid rain.

Acid rain is made excessively acidic by a combination of sulphuric and nitric acid.
Sulphuric acid from burning coal.

Sulfur Dioxide (a gas) evaporates into the atmosphere, mixes with precipitation (rain), and falls to earth as sulphuric acid.
Sulphuric acid
An acid rain forms due to both sulphuric and nitric acid making it acid rain. Acid rain damages buildings, metal structures, soils plants and animal life
