Exhausts can also contain Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) from impurities in the fuel, but only 3% of the total emissions of this substance come from transport, the rest mainly from industry and power generation.
The chemical compound name for SO2 is sulfur dioxide.
When sulfur burns in air, it forms sulfur dioxide gas (SO2). Sulfur dioxide is a colorless gas with a pungent smell and is a major air pollutant. It can react with moisture in the air to form sulfuric acid, contributing to acid rain.
When burning sulfur, sulfur dioxide gas is produced. This gas has a strong odor similar to burnt matches and can be harmful to human health and the environment.
Sulfur dioxide can be removed by scrubbing the gas with a solution of calcium oxide. The calcium oxide reacts with sulfur dioxide to form calcium sulfite, which can then be further oxidized to calcium sulfate. This process helps to reduce the concentration of sulfur dioxide in the gas stream.
No. Sulfur dioxide is a compound, which makes it a pure substance, not a mixture.
Yes, sulfur dioxide is a greenhouse gas.
Sulfur dioxide gas is produced when sulfur reacts with oxygen.
It is part of the exhaust system. It can be anywhere between the exhaust manifold and the muffler. It is usually half way between the manifold and the muffler. Some cars have two. The purpose of the converter is to change the carbon monoxide in the exhaust to sulfur dioxide. Carbon monoxide is a greenhouse gas and sulfur dioxide is not.
Sulfur dioxide is a toxic gas.
hydrocarbons (unburned) carbon monoxide carbon dioxide nitrogen oxides sulfur dioxide phosphorus lead and other metals
Both contain sulphur atoms. Elemntal sulfur is most commonly found as S8, a ring molecule, wheras sulfur dioxide, SO2, is a gas.
Sulfur dioxide is a gas that can be found in volcanic emissions, industrial processes (such as burning of fossil fuels), and some natural processes like forest fires. It is also a common air pollutant.
Sulfur can be naturally found in the environment in volcanic areas, hot springs, and in minerals like pyrite and gypsum. It is also present in the atmosphere as sulfur dioxide gas.
Magma contains a variety of gasses, the most common of which are water vapor, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide.
No, sulfur is an element and sulfur dioxide is a gaseous compound. Sulfur dioxide is the combustion product of sulfur in an oxygen atmosphere (S+O2 --> SO2) Where sulfur is an element, sulfur dioxide is a compound and where sulfur is an insoluble yellow solid, sulfur dioxide is a colorless soluble gas.
SO2 a gas
If sulfur is completely reacted with oxygen gas to form sulfur dioxide, the molar ratio between sulfur and sulfur dioxide is 1:1. This means that 64 tons of sulfur would produce 64 tons of sulfur dioxide.
