Sulfur dioxide is produced primarily from burning fossil fuels containing sulfur, such as coal and oil. Nitrogen oxides are produced mainly from combustion processes at high temperatures, such as in vehicle engines and power plants. Both pollutants can also be released from natural sources like volcanoes.
When water vapor reacts with nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere, it forms acid rain. This can have harmful effects on the environment by deteriorating buildings, harming wildlife, and polluting water sources.
When an element is completely burned in oxygen, it forms an oxide. The specific oxide produced depends on the element. For example, carbon burned in oxygen forms carbon dioxide, sulfur forms sulfur dioxide, and iron forms iron(III) oxide.
Two substances in the atmosphere that can combine with nitrogen and sulfur oxide from fossil fuel combustion are oxygen and water vapor. When nitrogen oxide and sulfur oxide emissions react with oxygen and water vapor in the atmosphere, they form nitrogen dioxide and sulfuric acid, respectively, contributing to air pollution and acid rain.
When sulfur is combined with nitrogen, it can form compounds like sulfur nitride (S4N4) or sulfur nitrogen oxides such as nitrogen dioxide (NO2) or nitrous oxide (N2O). These compounds can exhibit a range of properties depending on the specific elements and bonding arrangements involved.
Sulfur oxide can refer to both sulfur dioxide (SO2) and sulfur trioxide (SO3). The word equation for sulfur dioxide is sulfur + oxygen → sulfur dioxide. The word equation for sulfur trioxide is sulfur + oxygen → sulfur trioxide.
1. Carbine Dioxide 2. Sulfur Dioxide 3. Nitrogen Oxide
Water vapor and carbon dioxide if the burn is complete. Energy is produced. By-products would include Carbon Dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxide.
Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Sulfur Dioxide, Nitrogen Oxide, and probably other compounds as well.

Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide combine with water to make acid rain. Nitric oxide is neutral but is rapidly oxidised to nitrogen dioxide.
They are the cause of acid rains.

The oxides of nitrogen include nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and nitric oxide (NO). The oxides of sulfur include sulfur dioxide (SO2) and sulfur trioxide (SO3). These compounds are pollutants that can contribute to air pollution and acid rain formation.

Sulfur and carbon are oxidized during the combustion process. Sulfur normally forms two compounds when it burns, Sulfur dioxide and to a lesser extent sulfur trioxide. This is normal. Carbon when it burns produces carbon dioxide, if there is not enough air provided to the combustion it will produce carbon monoxide, which is an incomplete reaction. Carbon monoxide is combustible gas and can be burned further into carbon dioxide, with the proper application of air. Nitrogen oxides, nitrous and nitric oxide, are a separate process. These chemical bonds require a heat input to form, and rob heat from a fuel. Typically they are not formed at temperatures under 1500F (816C). These compounds are formed from nitrogen in either the fuel or the air, a very hot flame is required to produce them.
