It is used in some soaps, makes gunpowder ,used on matches, in fertilizers ,fungicides, and pesticides. Only sulfur that isn't pure has a rotten egg smell, and those that do smell has only a hint of that smell. Basically, what it does is blows up when mixed with a few other chemicals, kills things, but also helps your plants grow and you rub it on yourself. O.o

Which is a colorless odorless pollutant surlfur dioxide carbon monoxide?

Carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless pollutant, while sulfur dioxide tends to have a noticeable smell similar to rotten eggs.


Name three pollutant gases?

The gases most folks think of as "pollution" are * sulfur dioxide * nitrogen oxides * hydrogen sulfide * PAHs * VOCs * ammonia * methane * carbon dioxide * cyclic aromatics * carbon monoxide * various mercaptans


What are The three primary pollutant gases?

The three primary pollutant gases are carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and sulfur dioxide (SO2). These gases are key contributors to air pollution and can have harmful effects on human health and the environment.


How are sulfur dioxide carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide produced in combustion?

Sulfur and carbon are oxidized during the combustion process. Sulfur normally forms two compounds when it burns, Sulfur dioxide and to a lesser extent sulfur trioxide. This is normal. Carbon when it burns produces carbon dioxide, if there is not enough air provided to the combustion it will produce carbon monoxide, which is an incomplete reaction. Carbon monoxide is combustible gas and can be burned further into carbon dioxide, with the proper application of air. Nitrogen oxides, nitrous and nitric oxide, are a separate process. These chemical bonds require a heat input to form, and rob heat from a fuel. Typically they are not formed at temperatures under 1500F (816C). These compounds are formed from nitrogen in either the fuel or the air, a very hot flame is required to produce them.


What are the six common air pollutants?

The six common air pollutants are particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone, and lead. These pollutants can have harmful effects on human health and the environment when present in high levels in the air.

What is sulfur monoxide?

You probably mean sulfur monoxide, SO. This is a gas that is not found very often, and when it is found, it is the dilute gas phase. If it gets more concentrated, it turns into disulfur dioxide, S2O2.


Why is sulfur dioxide more stable than sulfur monoxide?

Sulfur dioxide is more stable than sulfur monoxide because it has a full octet of electrons in its outer shell, which gives it greater stability. Sulfur monoxide is less stable because it has an unpaired electron, making it more reactive and less energetically favorable.


Is Carbon Monoxide or Sulfur Dioxide more deadly?

Carbon monoxide is more deadly than sulfur dioxide. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can be fatal in high concentrations by interfering with the body's ability to carry oxygen. On the other hand, sulfur dioxide typically causes respiratory issues but is less immediately life-threatening compared to carbon monoxide.


What type of chemical bond does sulfur monoxide have?

Blood

What is the balanced equation for sulfur (s) carbon monoxide (g) sulfur dioxide (g) carbon (s)?

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between sulfur (S) and carbon monoxide (CO) to form sulfur dioxide (SO2) and carbon (C) is: 4S + 6CO -> 4SO2 + 2C


What is the name of SO compound?

Sulfur dioxide is the name of the compound with the chemical formula SO.
