Is sulfur dioxide removed from waste gases by treatment with acids?

Sulfur dioxide is removed by contact with water as it is soluble and forms sulfurous acid. The removal can be enhances by the addition of alkalis not acids. The problem with adding alkalis to the water is that the reaction between the alkali and the acid can cause a precipitated salt which becomes a waste disposal issue.

How does ammonium persulfate react with acids?
it releases sulfur dioxide and oxygen?
What acids do nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide form?
Sulfur dioxide produces Sulfurous acid when dissolved in water.SO2 + H2O ----> H2SO3Nitrogen dioxide produces Nitrous acid and Nitric acid when dissolved in water.2 NO2 + H2O ----> HNO2 + HNO3
What effect does sulfur dioxide have on buildings?
Sulfur dioxide combines with oxygen and water to form acid rain Sulfuric and sulfurous acids). The acid can corrode metal and dissolve limestone, marble and cement.
How is sulfur dioxide formed in a combustion reaction?
Sulfur dioxide is present in many fuels either as H2S, sulfur or sulphidic organic compounds (R-SH) like mercaptans or disulfides. In combustion, these sulfurs are combined with oxygen to produce SO2 and some SO3. Both SO2 and SO3 can combine in further atmospheric reactions to produce sulfurous or sulfuric acids.
How does smoke from fossil fuels effect the pH of rain?
Fossil fuels contain certain amounts of sulfur, which burns to sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide. These react with water to cause acids. Also, most internal combustion engines create oxides of nitrogen, which do the same thing.
What acids do sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides form?
Sulfuric and nitric acids.
What acids are released by acid rain?
sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides

Which acids do sulfur dioxide and nitrous oxide form?
Type your answer here i dont know y u asking me?
Most important agent of chemical weathering is?
Acids within rain e.g. Sulfuric acid which is formed from sulfur dioxide and Nitric acid. These acids then break down material such as structures and rocks.
One of the acids in acid rain forms when water combines with?
Acid rain contain traces of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide. These gases when dissolved in water - as in cloud water droplets - form sulfuric acid and nitric acid [and probably also sulfurous and nitrous acids].
Is Acid rain created when water vapor in the atmosphere absorbs carbon dioxide?
Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids.
What two acids in pollution make acid rain?
Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides both react with water in the atmosphere to form acids, sulfuric acid and nitric acid.
What has the author Rowland Edward Johnson written?
Rowland Edward Johnson has written: 'Exchange reactions in liquid sulfur dioxide' -- subject(s): Organic acids
Give the names and formulas of two acids that decompose to form gases?
Carbonic acid (H2CO3) decomposes to produce water and carbon dioxide. Sulfurous acid (H2SO3) decomposes to produce water and sulfur dioxide.
