Basically, sulfur dioxide is a acidic gas. As acid reacts with alkali, carbonates and metals, all 3 are actually ideal to remove sulfur dioxide. However, in the context of removing sulfur dioxide due to air pollution, reacting sulfur dioxide with alkali and carbonate would be more appropriate.

For example, removing sulfur dioxide with calcium carbonate would result in calcium sulfate, water and carbon dioxide.

Is sulfur dioxide a mixture?

No. Sulfur dioxide is a compound, which makes it a pure substance, not a mixture.


What substance can be used to get rid of sulphur dioxide?

Substances like activated carbon, hydrogen peroxide, or sodium hydroxide can be used to remove sulfur dioxide. These substances react with sulfur dioxide to form less harmful compounds or to neutralize its effects.


What substance is added in the final stages to remove the sulfur from coal?

Limestone is typically added in the final stages to remove sulfur from coal during a process called flue-gas desulfurization. Limestone reacts with sulfur dioxide to form calcium sulfate, which can then be easily removed.


What type of solution is used to remove sulfur dioxide?

One common solution to remove sulfur dioxide is to use a wet scrubber system. This technology involves spraying a solution (such as a lime or limestone slurry) onto the flue gas containing sulfur dioxide to neutralize and remove it. The sulfur dioxide reacts with the solution to form a solid byproduct that can be easily separated.


Is sulfur dioxide a pure substance?

It can be, as long as no other substances are present.


Which has the higher melting point sulfur dioxide or carbon dioxide?

Sulfur dioxide has a higher melting point than carbon dioxide. This is because sulfur dioxide is a smaller molecule with stronger intermolecular forces, making it more difficult to break the bonds in order to melt the substance.


What is the other substance in the air that combines with sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide to form acid precipitation?

Carbon combines with sulfur and nitrogen in order to form acid precipitation.
