It forms Sulphurous Acid
No, when bubbled through water it produces sulfurous acid H2SO3.
soluble:)Just doing that question for chemistry right now:D
The gaseous oxide formed when sulfur is burned in air is sulfur dioxide (SO2). When sulfur dioxide dissolves in water, it forms sulfurous acid (H2SO3), which is a weak acid. Litmus paper will turn red when dipped in this solution, indicating acidity.
When dissolving CO2 in water it forms a weak acid: H2CO3. SiO2 will not dissolve in water, so it is not acidic (nor base)
The main dissolved gas present in acid rain is carbon dioxide (CO2). Other gases that can be dissolved in rainwater to form acid rain include sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), which can react with water to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid.
When you dissolve an Oxide (e.g. CO2 or SO2) in water you normally make an acid.
No, when bubbled through water it produces sulfurous acid H2SO3.

Sulphurous acid is formed H2O + SO2 ----> H2SO3
SO2 + H2O ==> H2SO3 Sulphurous acid is formed.

They react to form sulphuric acid. 2 SO2 + 2 H2O + O2 → 2 H2SO4
The main dissolved gas present in acid rain is carbon dioxide (CO2). Other gases that can be dissolved in rainwater to form acid rain include sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), which can react with water to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid.
When sulfur dioxide is dissolved in water, it forms sulfurous acid (H2SO3). This reaction can lead to the acidification of the water, lowering its pH. Sulfurous acid is a weak acid that can further react to form sulfite ions (SO3^2-) and bisulfite ions (HSO3^-).
SO2 is acidic. When dissolved in water, it forms sulfurous acid, which can donate a hydrogen ion, making the solution acidic.
The pH of a water sample is typically lowered more when equal amounts of SO2 are introduced compared to CO2. This is because SO2 readily reacts with water to form sulfurous acid, which is a stronger acid than the carbonic acid formed when CO2 dissolves in water.
