high temperature combustion produces nitrous dioxide gas

A2: There is no "nitrous dioxide" gas--only Nitric Oxide (NO2) and Nitrous Oxide (N2O; laughing gas). NO2 is produced by burning at high temperatures, say a car engine running lean; and also produced naturally by lightning. Sulfur dioxide can be produced by volcanoes or burning hi-sulfur fuels, like some grades of diesel.

Which gives sulfur dioxide when heated in air?

Sulfur dioxide is produced when sulfur or compounds containing sulfur, such as sulfur-containing minerals, are heated in the presence of oxygen (air). This can occur during the combustion of fossil fuels, volcanic eruptions, or burning of sulfur-containing materials.


What is made when fossil fuels burn and release nitrous oxide and sulfur dioxide into the air?

Energy light and heat and raw carbon is made along with NO and SO2. Carbon dioxide (CO2), the greenhouse gas, is also released.


Gas formed when sulfur burns in air?

When sulfur burns in air, it forms sulfur dioxide gas (SO2). Sulfur dioxide is a colorless gas with a pungent smell and is a major air pollutant. It can react with moisture in the air to form sulfuric acid, contributing to acid rain.


What are some benefits of nuclear power plants?

Reduction in Air Pollution. Nuclear power can also be part of a strategy to address carbon emissions. Nuclear power plants emit no carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, or nitrous oxides.


Sulfur dioxide forms from the burning of what?

How much sulfur dioxide is in the air?

The concentration of sulfur dioxide in the air can vary depending on location, time, and source of emissions. Generally, levels of sulfur dioxide in the air are measured in parts per billion (ppb) or micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3). Regulatory agencies set limits for acceptable levels of sulfur dioxide in the air to protect human health and the environment.


When sulfur reacts with air to give sulfur dioxide what is it called?
