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 else can I help you with?
What will you produce if you burn sulphur in the air?
You will get SO2 or sulphur dioxide, an acidic oxide
Can sulfur burn?
Sulphur burns in air (oxygen ) to give sulphur dioxide. S + O2 ---> SO2
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
Why do cars produce oxides of sulphur dioxide?
Cars produce oxides of sulfur dioxide when sulfur-containing fuels like diesel and petrol are burned in the engine. Sulfur in the fuel combines with oxygen in the air to produce sulfur dioxide as a byproduct.
What is the compound formed when sulphur reacts with oxygen?
Sulphur dioxide (SO2) is the compound formed when sulphur reacts with oxygen.
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.
When a hydrocarbon fuel containing sulphur impurities is burned the sulphur reacts with what to produce sulphur dioxide?
The sulphur in the fuel reacts with oxygen in the air during combustion to produce sulphur dioxide. This reaction is responsible for the creation of air pollution and acid rain.
What will you produce if you burn sulphur in the air?
You will get SO2 or sulphur dioxide, an acidic oxide
Why does burning hydrocarbons produce sulphur dioxide?
Sulfur dioxide is produced only if the hydrocarbons are contaminated with sulfur compounds.
Can sulfur burn?
Sulphur burns in air (oxygen ) to give sulphur dioxide. S + O2 ---> SO2
Does sulfur dissolve in water to produce an alkaline solution?
No. However it will dissove in water to produce an acidic solution :)
What is a principal cause of acid rain?
Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids.Nitrogen oxides can be produced naturally by lightning strikes and sulphur dioxide is produced by volcanic eruptions and industrial emissions. It also can be from gases from burning coal and oil released into the air.
How can oil of vitriol prepared from sulphur?
Oil of vitriol, also known as sulfuric acid, is prepared by the contact process. This involves burning sulfur to produce sulfur dioxide gas, which is then oxidized to form sulfur trioxide. Finally, the sulfur trioxide is dissolved in water to produce sulfuric acid.
What is the word equation for sulfur plus oxygen?

Is sulphur dioxide a hydrocarbonprotienvitamen mineral or lipid?
It is a mineral. Sulphur dioxide certainly is not a lipid.
Why does burning petrol in a car engine produce carbon dioxide as well as carbon monoxide?
because the petrol reacts with the air forming sulphur dioxide. Then the sulphur dioxide goes through the catalytic converter and is then change into a less harmful gas, carbon diioxide and carbon monoxide.
