How can SO2 be removed?

That depends on what you want to remove it from. Usually it must be removed from exhaust gases and that is done by a scrubber. The gases pass up through a pile of specially shaped material called "media" and water flows down through the pile. The SO2 is absorbed into the water, which is then processed separately. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrubber


What happens when carbon is boiled in concentrated H2SO4?

The reaction is:C + 2 H2SO4 = CO2 + 2 SO2 + 2 H2O


How does most SO2 enter the atmosphere?

Most sulfur dioxide (SO2) enters the atmosphere primarily through the combustion of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, which release sulfur contained in these fuels. Additionally, industrial processes, particularly those related to metal smelting and refining, contribute to SO2 emissions. Natural sources, including volcanic eruptions and oceanic emissions, also release SO2, but human activities are the predominant contributors to atmospheric SO2 levels.


What can be done to reduce the amount of sulphur dioxide produced?

The most common process is 2 steps:Run the flue gasses through a catalyst with excess oxygen to convert the SO2 to SO3.Bubble that through a tank of crushed limestone and water slurry to produce gypsum CaSO4.Another process is also 2 steps:Run the flue gasses through a catalyst with excess oxygen to convert the SO2 to SO3.Bubble that through a tank of water to produce sulfuric acid H2SO4.In either process, the gypsum or sulfuric acid can be sold.


What solution is formed when sulphur dioxide reacts with water in the atmosphere?

SO2 + H2O ==> H2SO3 Sulphurous acid is formed.

What happens when sulphur reacts with water?

Sulphurous acid is formed H2O + SO2 ----> H2SO3


Is so2 a base?

No, when bubbled through water it produces sulfurous acid H2SO3.


IS SO2 soluble or insoluble in water?

SO2 dissolve well in water.The product formed is H2SO3.


What happens when sulphurdioxide is dissolved in water?

They react to form sulphuric acid. 2 SO2 + 2 H2O + O2 → 2 H2SO4


What is the chemical formula for sulfur dioxide water?

The chemical formula for sulfur dioxide is SO2, and for water it is H2O.


What happens when SO2 dissolves in rainwater?

When SO2 dissolves in rainwater, it forms sulfuric acid (H2SO4) due to reaction with water. This leads to acid rain, which can harm the environment by causing damage to plant life, aquatic ecosystems, and infrastructure. Acid rain can also contribute to the degradation of buildings and statues made of limestone or marble.

What happens when acidic substances are added to water?

When an acidic substance is added to water, it forms an acid. Examples of this kind of chemical reaction include: Sulfur Dioxide + Water --> Sulfurous Acid SO2 + H2O --> H2SO3


What happens in when SO2 reacts with rain water?

When sulfur dioxide (SO2) reacts with rainwater, it forms sulfuric acid (H2SO4). This can result in acid rain, which can harm aquatic life, damage forests, and corrode buildings and monuments over time. Acid rain can also impact human health by contaminating water sources and damaging crops.


Why is the reaction SO2 plus H2O H2SO2 not balanced?

there are more oxygen atoms on one side than on the other


If both sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide dissolve in water-what color would the solution be?

SO2 is less soluble in water... but solution of SO2 and CO2 will be colourless...


Is SO2 soluble or insolubel?

soluble:)Just doing that question for chemistry right now:D
