How is sulfur dioxide produced when fuels burn in vehicles?

Sulphur dioxide (SO2) is produced when gasoline, diesel fuel and coal or oil, all of which contain sulphur, are burned in vehicles. Sulphur is not needed so is let out as a waste product and therefore is let off by the vehicle.


Does it contain Sulphur?

I've worked in it for a few years and haven't yet seen any sulphur.


What is the percent of sulphur in ammonium sulphate?

The formula of ammonium sulphate is (NH4)2SO4, showing that each formula mass contains one sulphur atom. The formula mass of ammonium sulphate is 132.13, and the gram atomic mass of sulphur is 32.06. Therefore, the percent by mass of sulphur in ammonium sulphate is 100(32.06/132.13) or 24.26, to the justified number of significant digits.


What fossil fuel contains more impurities than other fossil fuels?

In terms of impurities the ranking goes like this. Bituminous coal>Anthracite coal>Crude oil>Diesel>Gasoline>Natural Gas>Propane. An example of this is how vehicles in stadiums are powered by propane or nat gas. The more pure the fuel the less carbon monoxide and hazardous chemicals would be produce. You would hardly want to breath the fumes from a coal burning steam engine.


Why is sulfur dioxide produced in a petrol engine?

Sulfur dioxide is produced in a petrol engine when the fuel being burned contains sulfur impurities. As the fuel combusts, sulfur in the fuel reacts with oxygen in the air to form sulfur dioxide, which is then emitted as a pollutant in the exhaust gases of the engine.

When a hydrocarbon fuel containing sulphur impurities is burned the sulphur reacts with what to produce sulphur dioxide?

The sulphur in the fuel reacts with oxygen in the air during combustion to produce sulphur dioxide. This reaction is responsible for the creation of air pollution and acid rain.


How can sulphur impurities be dealt with in fossil fuels?

Sulphur impurities in fossil fuels can be dealt with through a process called desulphurization. This involves treating the fuels with a desulphurizing agent to remove the sulphur compounds present. Alternatively, low-sulphur fossil fuels can be used, or technologies like fuel scrubbers can be employed to reduce sulphur emissions during combustion.


Where coke fuel can be found?

Coke fuel is produced (in an industrial process) from coal which has been roasted in the absence of oxygen to drive off impurities consisting mostly of hydrocarbons and sulphur compounds. Coke fuel is almost pure carbon but will also contain trace amounts of ash, water and sulphur compounds.


What element contains sulphur trioxide?

Sulphur and Oxygen


Is a fuel filter more critical n a diesel engine or gasoline?

What are the constituents of fuel?

Hydrogen, carbon, sulphur.


Do minerals streak contains impurities?

yes


What is the word equation for burning fuel?

fuel + oxygen ------> carbon dioxide + water


Is it bad to drive your car on empty?

The impurities tend to accumulate at the bottom of the fuel tank and when the fuel tank has plenty of fuel it can mix with the impurities and burn easily.Also if the fuel pump is in the tank,it helps cool the pump.


What components are found in diesel fuel?

Diesel fuel is primarily composed of hydrocarbons, which are molecules made up of hydrogen and carbon atoms. It also contains small amounts of sulfur compounds, nitrogen compounds, and other impurities.
