Sulfur dioxide is used in many things such as refrigerants and solvents. It is also one the largest contributors to air pollution on Earth. This is caused by petroleum and coal burning.
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.
Sublimed sulphur, also known as "flowers of sulphur," is commonly used for fumigation purposes. It is a fine yellow powder that can be burned to release sulfur dioxide gas, which has insecticidal properties.
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 sulfur impurities is burned, the **sulfur reacts with oxygen from the air to produce sulfur dioxide (SO₂)
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).
Sulphur dioxide is a reducing agent and is used for bleaching and as a fumigant and food preservative. Large quantities of sulphur dioxide are used in the contact process for the manufacture of sulphuric acid. Sulphur dioxide is used in bleaching wool or straw, and as a disinfectant. Liquid sulphur dioxide has been used in purifying petroleum products
It is a mineral. Sulphur dioxide certainly is not a lipid.
Burning coal (a fossil fuel) releases carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide.

Sulphur dioxide (SO2) is the compound formed when sulphur reacts with oxygen.
sulphur dioxide
No. sulphur dioxide has polar covalent bond and is a polar covalent compound.
Sulphur dioxide reacts with water to form sulphurous acid. The word equation for this reaction is: sulphur dioxide + water --> sulphurous acid.
Yes: With a sufficient supply of oxygen, sulphur dioxide will burn to form sulphur trioxide.
Sulphur dioxide, Sulphur trioxide...
A sulphur precipitator is a device used to remove sulphur dioxide from industrial exhaust gases. By passing the gases through the precipitator, sulphur dioxide is converted into a solid particulate form that can be easily collected and disposed of. This helps reduce air pollution and its negative effects on the environment and human health.
