Ammonia is NH3 (i.e. consists of nitrogen and hydrogen as its constituents) whereas Sulphur dioxide is SO2 i.e it has sulphur and oxygen as its constituents.

The chemical and physical properties are also quite different.

How do you differentiate between sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide?

The difference between sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide is that there are 2 molecules of oxygen present in sulphur dioxide (SO2) and there are 3 molecules of oxygen are present in sulphur trioxide (SO3).

Is sulphur dioxide an acid base or neutral?

Sulphur dioxide is an acidic compound. When dissolved in water, sulphur dioxide produces sulphurous acid, which gives it acidic properties.


What is the word equation for sulfur plus oxygen?

"sulphur+oxygen->sulphur oxide."Se + O2 under pressure renders SeO2 (selenium dioxide). "Comment on the fact that the analagous reaction between sulphur and oxygen, although extremely slow, gives a product with a different stoichiometry". Part 1A Inorganic Chemistry Paper, University of Oxford, 2008.So the paper suggeststhat sulphur dioxide is not the product of direct combination of sulphur and oxygen. Why is this? Is it contaminated with some SO3?I think it's actually sulphur dioxide rather than sulphur oxide as someone else suggested. If you look at the reaction of carbon and oxygen, it doesn't produce carbon oxide, but carbon dioxide. So therefore I think if:Carbon + oxygen --> carbon dioxideThen:Sulphur + oxygen --> Sulphur dioxide


What do you add to sulphur to make sulphur dioxide?

You add oxygen to sulfur to make sulfur dioxide.


Why is sulphur dioxide produced in petrol engines?

Sulphur dioxide is produced in petrol engines due to the combustion of sulphur-containing compounds present in the fuel. When these compounds are burned, they react with oxygen to form sulphur dioxide as a byproduct, which is then emitted through the exhaust. Reducing the sulphur content in petrol can help minimize the production of sulphur dioxide emissions.
