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).
How is sulphur dioxide released in to the atmosphere?
volcanoes usually release sulphur dioxide, after an eruption.
What is Sulphur dioxide used for?
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
Does sulphure dioxide burn?
Yes: With a sufficient supply of oxygen, sulphur dioxide will burn to form sulphur trioxide.
What impact does sulfur dioxide have on humans?
Sulphur dioxide is very toxic if you are going to use. use it in a wellventilated area if you don't it will cause your lungs to get burnt from the fumes and if it has contact with eyes it may cause blindness. so be careful with the stuff. Sulphur dioxide has a detrimental effect on humans. It is found in nearly all processed food, wine, beer and some juices. It causes mood swings, irritablity, rapid heart beat, deep depression, aggression that is incredibly hard to control. Most humans will be running on a negative due to this toxic chemical. Australia has now taken the lead and banned it from all foods.
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
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 negative effect of sulfur dioxide to the atmosphere?
if there is more sulphur in the atmosphere the will be more problems with acid rain
Is sulphur dioxide a hydrocarbonprotienvitamen mineral or lipid?
It is a mineral. Sulphur dioxide certainly is not a lipid.
How is sulphur dioxide released in to the atmosphere?
volcanoes usually release sulphur dioxide, after an eruption.
Which energy sources produce carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide?
Burning coal (a fossil fuel) releases carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide.
