When its burnt
Answer:
Oil comes in many "flavours". High sulfur (sour) crude oil is usually processed to remove sulfur from the product streams. The sulfur is then sold to the chemical industry as product. If the unrefined sour crude were burned it would release sulfur dioxide. The "sweet" or sulfur free products do not release sulfur oxides.
Some heavy grades of marine and industrial fuel oils do contain sulfur. If used in the ocean the sulfur is absorbed by the ocean water with a high dilution. Industrial burners all have sulfur removal systems on their stacks.

What will you produce if you burn sulphur in the air?
You will get SO2 or sulphur dioxide, an acidic oxide
Why do cars produce oxides of sulphur dioxide?
i think oxide tapan martha rathipur-jatni
Why should the sulfur dioxide be removed from the waste gases?
Sulphur dioxide in waste gasses combines with water in the atmosphere to produce acid rain.
How do you differentiate between sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide?
The difference between sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide is that there are 2 molecules of oxygen present in sulphur dioxide (SO2) and there are 3 molecules of oxygen are present in sulphur trioxide (SO3).
What is the word equation for sulfur plus oxygen?
"sulphur+oxygen->sulphur oxide."Se + O2 under pressure renders SeO2 (selenium dioxide). "Comment on the fact that the analagous reaction between sulphur and oxygen, although extremely slow, gives a product with a different stoichiometry". Part 1A Inorganic Chemistry Paper, University of Oxford, 2008.So the paper suggeststhat sulphur dioxide is not the product of direct combination of sulphur and oxygen. Why is this? Is it contaminated with some SO3?I think it's actually sulphur dioxide rather than sulphur oxide as someone else suggested. If you look at the reaction of carbon and oxygen, it doesn't produce carbon oxide, but carbon dioxide. So therefore I think if:Carbon + oxygen --> carbon dioxideThen:Sulphur + oxygen --> Sulphur dioxide
Does ethanol produce sulphur dioxide?
No
Which energy sources produce carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide?
Burning coal (a fossil fuel) releases carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide.
What will you produce if you burn sulphur in the air?
You will get SO2 or sulphur dioxide, an acidic oxide
When a hydrocarbon fuel containing sulphur impurities is burned the sulphur reacts with what to produce sulphur dioxide?
oxygen
How much greenhouse gases does coal produce?
sulphur dioxide.
Does sulfur dissolve in water to produce an alkaline solution?
NO!!! Sulphur is combusted /burnt in air(oxygen) to form sulphur dioxide. Sulphur dioxide is soluble in water , and forms sulphurous acid (H2SO3).
What are two sources of the gases that produce acid precipitation?
NO2, for Nitric acid formation and SO2, for Sulfuric acid formation in atmosphere .
Why does burning hydrocarbons produce sulphur dioxide?
Sulfur dioxide is produced only if the hydrocarbons are contaminated with sulfur compounds.
Why do cars produce oxides of sulphur dioxide?
i think oxide tapan martha rathipur-jatni
Why should the sulfur dioxide be removed from the waste gases?
Sulphur dioxide in waste gasses combines with water in the atmosphere to produce acid rain.

The difference between sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide is that there are 2 molecules of oxygen present in sulphur dioxide (SO2) and there are 3 molecules of oxygen are present in sulphur trioxide (SO3).
What reactions occur when sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide react with water in the rain clouds?
When sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide reacts with rain water they produce sulphuric acid and nitric acid respectively, such rains are called acid rains.
