NO!!!!
It is an ACIDIC Gas.
Oxides of non-metallic elements on the right hand side of the Periodic Table are all acidic gases.
When the gas is dissolved in water, it forms an acid .
Sulphur dioxide + Water = sulphurOUS acid. (Note the suffix).
SO2(g) + H2O(l) = H2SO3(aq).
NB SulphurIC acid ( H2SO4) is made by a more complex and lengthier synthesis.
Other non-metallic oxide gases that produce acids are:-
Carbon dioxide /Carbonic Acid
Nitrogen dioxide / Nitrous acid
Phosphorus oxide / Phosphoric Acid.
NNB Oxides of metals on the left hand side of the periodic table are basic, and produce alkalis when dissolved in water.
e.g.
Na2O + H2O = 2NaOH

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.
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.
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 so2 neutral?
No sulphur dioxide is not neutral. It is acidic. It is one of the acidic gasses.
Is sulphur dioxide a hydrocarbonprotienvitamen mineral or lipid?
It is a mineral. Sulphur dioxide certainly is not a lipid.
When sulphur oxide or nitric oxide is combined with moisture in the air then what is formed?
Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide combine with water to make acid rain. Nitric oxide is neutral but is rapidly oxidised to nitrogen dioxide.
Which energy sources produce carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide?
Burning coal (a fossil fuel) releases carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide.
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.
What is the compound formed when sulphur reacts with oxygen?
Sulphur dioxide (SO2) is the compound formed when sulphur reacts with oxygen.
What do gas have?
sulphur dioxide
Is sulphur dioxide made of ionic compound?
No. sulphur dioxide has polar covalent bond and is a polar covalent compound.
What is the word equation for sulphur dioxide with water?
Sulphur dioxide reacts with water to form sulphurous acid. The word equation for this reaction is: sulphur dioxide + water --> sulphurous acid.
Does sulphure dioxide burn?
Yes: With a sufficient supply of oxygen, sulphur dioxide will burn to form sulphur trioxide.
What is the name of a gas that starts with S?
Sulphur dioxide, Sulphur trioxide...
What effect does sulphur dioxide have on the land?
Sulphur dioxide reacts with water and forming sulphuric acid that harms the plants and agriculture.
