Sulphur Dioxide can be prepared by reaction of copper with concentrate sulphuric acid.

Cu + H2SO4 ----------> CuSO4 +SO2 + 2H2O

Why is sulphur dioxide produced in petrol engines?

Sulphur dioxide is produced in petrol engines due to the combustion of sulphur-containing compounds present in the fuel. When these compounds are burned, they react with oxygen to form sulphur dioxide as a byproduct, which is then emitted through the exhaust. Reducing the sulphur content in petrol can help minimize the production of sulphur dioxide emissions.


How is boric acid prepared in laboratory?

On commercial scale, boric acid is prepared from a natural calcium borate called colemanite (Ca2B6O11.5H2O) by suspending it in boiling water while, sulphur dioxide is passed through it. Boric acid crystallizes out from the solution while, the other product CaSO3 remains in the solution.Ca2B6O11.5H2 + 2SO2 + 4H2O 2Ca SO3 + 6H3BO3Colemanite


How can sulphur dioxide be removed from flue gas by wet scrubbing?

Sulphur dioxide can be removed from flue gas by wet scrubbing using a scrubbing solution such as a slurry of limestone in water. The sulphur dioxide reacts with the alkaline solution to form calcium sulfite or sulfate, which can then be separated from the gas stream. The scrubbed gas is then released into the atmosphere with reduced sulphur dioxide levels.


When a hydrocarbon fuel containing sulphur impurities is burned the sulphur reacts with what to produce sulphur dioxide?

When a hydrocarbon fuel containing sulfur impurities is burned, the **sulfur reacts with oxygen from the air to produce sulfur dioxide (SO₂)


Is sulphur dioxide a mixture a compound or an element?

Sulphur dioxide is a COMPOUND. It tis a combination of two oxygen atoms with a sulphur atom . Structurally it is shown as ' O=S=O'. (Very similar to carbon dioxide. Each oxygen atom is doubly covalently bonded to the sulphur atom. NB It is NOT a mixture, because mixtures have NO electronic bonding between atoms. NNB It is NOT an element. It is composed of TWO elements viz. sulphur and oxygen. The Periodic Table gives a list of all the elements. You will not find sulphur dioxide (SO2) listed,as it is a compound, but separately sulphur(S) and oxygen(O).

Is sulphur dioxide an acid base or neutral?

Sulphur dioxide is an ACIDIC gas. When it is dissolved in water it form the acid ; SULPHUROUS ACID ( H2SO3). Note the spelling and the number of oxygen atoms in combination. NB The oxides of non-metallic elements on the right hand side of the Periodic Table all produce acids. e.g. Carbon Dioxide/Carbonic Acid . Nitrogen dioxide/Nitric Acid, Phosphorus oxides/phossphoric acid. etc., NNNB The metal oxides on the left hand side of the Periodic Table produce bases/alkalis.

What do you add to sulphur to make sulphur dioxide?

Oxygen!!! However, you do NOT add oxygen, it is combined. Yellow elemental sulphur is heated in a flow of oxygen gas. The product is sulphur dioxide. It has a very acrid/acidic smell, so do NOT breath it in. Sulphur dioxide can be dissolved in water to form Sulphurous Acid. The reaction equation for the combination of sulphur and oxygen is ; - S(s) + O2(g) == heat==> SO2(g) The reaction equation for the combination of sulphur dioxide and water is:- SO2(g) + H2O(l) == H2SO3(aq) NOTE this is sulphurOUS Acid. SulphurIC Acid has the formula ' H2SO4 '. one extra oxygen in combination.
