What happens when SO2 reacts with H2S?
Elemental Sulphar is formed.Water also formed in reaction.
Does Nitrogen oxide pollute the atmosphere?
sulfur dioxide is fairy reactive in air, it reacts with water in the air to form sulfurous acid, which is acid rain, SO2(g) + H2O(l) H2SO3(aq). Acid rain pretty much kills plants.
What is the chemical reaction of sodium sulfite and water?
sodium sulfite is soluble in water...though it may partially reacts to liberate SO2 gas and it can make the water acidic too Na2SO3 + H2O → 2NaOH + SO2 (only partial) But in acidic medium it decomposes as Na2SO3 + 2 H+ → 2 Na+ + H2O + SO2
What happens when sulfur burns in oxygen?
yes,sulphur reacts with oxygen forming sulphur dioxide. s+o2------->so2
What happens when sulfur and nitrogen mix with the water in the air?
Nothing happens to sulfur when mixed with air. Nitrogen is part of the gas combination that makes up air. Neither reacts with water. However, When sulfur is burned in air the S turns to SO2 which is soluble in water and forms sulfurous acid. Similarly when N2 is present in a zone of high temperature it may combine with oxygen to form NOx a group of oxygen/nitrogen compounds which may react with water to produce nitrous acid. These compounds in water contribute to acid precipitation (rain or snow)
What happens when sulphur reacts with water?
Sulphurous acid is formed H2O + SO2 ----> H2SO3
How do sulfur dioxides emissions contribute to acid rain?
Beacuse the SO2 reacts with rain water to produce sulfurous acid. SO2 + H2O ----> H2SO3 and this can be further oxidized to sulfuric acid.
What is made during sulfur dioxide pollution?
acid rain; SO2, i.e. sulfur dioxide, reacts with water to produce H2SO3, or sulfurous acid, which then reacts with oxygen to form sulphuric acid (H2SO4), and dissolves in rain to fall as acid rain
Where does sulfur dioxide get its extra oxygen from for acid rain?
Sulfur dioxide reacts with water to form sulfurous acid (SO2 + H2O --> HSO3)
What happens when sulfur reacts with nitric acid?
S + HNO3 = SO2 + NO2 + H2OWhen Sulfur reacts with nitric acid it forms sulfur dioxide , nitrogen dioxide and water .
Why is aqueous SO2 is referred as sulphurous acid?
In water SO2 reacts to form H2SO3 which is sulfurous acid.
What happens when SO2 reacts with H2S?
Elemental Sulphar is formed.Water also formed in reaction.
What happens when SO2 dissolves in rainwater?
SO2 is an acid gas.It lowers the pH value of water.
What solution is formed when sulphur dioxide reacts with water in the atmosphere?
SO2 + H2O ==> H2SO3 Sulphurous acid is formed.
Does Nitrogen oxide pollute the atmosphere?
sulfur dioxide is fairy reactive in air, it reacts with water in the air to form sulfurous acid, which is acid rain, SO2(g) + H2O(l) H2SO3(aq). Acid rain pretty much kills plants.
What do industries pump into the atmosphere to affect rain water?
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Sulfer Dioxide (SO2) both of which form acids when mixed with rain water.
What is the chemical reaction of sodium sulfite and water?
sodium sulfite is soluble in water...though it may partially reacts to liberate SO2 gas and it can make the water acidic too Na2SO3 + H2O → 2NaOH + SO2 (only partial) But in acidic medium it decomposes as Na2SO3 + 2 H+ → 2 Na+ + H2O + SO2
