What is the compound formed when sulphur reacts with oxygen?
Sulphur dioxide (SO2) is the compound formed when sulphur reacts with oxygen.
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 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
What will you produce if you burn sulphur in the air?
You will get SO2 or sulphur dioxide, an acidic oxide
Have humans affected the earths Greenhouse Effect?
yes, by releasing greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and sulphur dioxide througe the burning of fossil fuels
How are humans altering the amounts of sulphur dioxide in air?
Humans are altering sulphur in air by releasing it. It is released as pollution.
What effect does sulphur dioxide have on the land?
Sulphur dioxide reacts with water and forming sulphuric acid that harms the plants and agriculture.
How does sulphur dioxide kill humans directly?
sulphur dioxide can kill by being mixed with water (H2O) to form sulphuric acid which is deadly to internal organs. remember that humans are just walking bags of water so if sulphur dioxide is inhaled it is mixing with H2O.
How dangerous is sulphur dioxide in food for humans?
its super dangerous
What effect does sulfur dioxide have on plants?
Sulphur dioxide is very harmful to plants and it can kill them. Sulphur Dioxide is the main gas produced by the burning of coal and it is cleared into the atmosphere. Moreover Sulphur Dioxide can react with water vapour in the atmosphere and produce a dangerous acid called sulphuric acid which is the acid in acid rain. Sulphuric acid can break plants (and animals) down, therefore the plants die. i love does nuts
Is sulphur dioxide a hydrocarbonprotienvitamen mineral or lipid?
It is a mineral. Sulphur dioxide certainly is not a lipid.
Which energy sources produce carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide?
Burning coal (a fossil fuel) releases carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide.
What is dissolved in rainwater and what is its effect?
nitrate, nitrite and some amount of sulphur dioxide and cabon mono oxide too
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.
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 do you add to sulphur to make sulphur dioxide?
Oxygen!!! However, you do NOT add oxygen, it is combined. Yellow elemental sulphur is heated in a flow of oxygen gas. The product is sulphur dioxide. It has a very acrid/acidic smell, so do NOT breath it in. Sulphur dioxide can be dissolved in water to form Sulphurous Acid. The reaction equation for the combination of sulphur and oxygen is ; - S(s) + O2(g) == heat==> SO2(g) The reaction equation for the combination of sulphur dioxide and water is:- SO2(g) + H2O(l) == H2SO3(aq) NOTE this is sulphurOUS Acid. SulphurIC Acid has the formula ' H2SO4 '. one extra oxygen in combination.
