Which energy sources produce carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide?
Burning coal (a fossil fuel) releases carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide.
What substances responsible for acid precipitation are released into the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels?
Oxides of nitrogen and sulphur.
What human activities release sulphur dioxide ,carbon monoxide and oxide of nitrogen to the atmosphere?
Burning of fossil
What human activities relase sulphur dioxide carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen to the atmosphere?
Burning of fossil fuels
What are the sources and sinks of sulphur oxide pollution?
Sources of sulphur oxide pollution include burning of fossil fuels, industrial processes, and volcanic eruptions. Sinks for sulphur oxide pollution include rainfall (which forms acid rain), the ocean, and chemical reactions in the atmosphere that help remove sulphur compounds.
How does burning contribute to acid rain?
It contributes by the burning of fossil fuels like coal that realeases sulphur

What is the substance that causes the acid rain?
Sulphur , in a form of sulphur dioxide or sulphur oxide , I think. Acid rain can be caused by either nitric oxide or sulfur dioxide in the air, which result from the burning of fossil fuels.
How does burning of fossil fuels affect sulphur?
there is an increase in the amount of nitrogen in the atmosphere- and there is a decrease in the amount of nitrogen in the earth.Answer this question…
What is the origin of sulphur dioxide?
Although there are many potential sources of sulphur dioxide the primary concern is the comes from burning fossil fuels (coal and oil). The are referred to as "sour" fuels. Sulfur dioxide has the formula SO2. It is formed by burning sulfur, which is an impurity in coal and crude oil, with oxygen in the air.In Industry:The burning of sulphur containing fuels (Bunker, coal, sour gas)The flaring of sour gas either at gas wells or at refineriesThe processing of sulphidic ores (pyrites)Fires at sulphur blocks (a storage system for bulk sulphur)In Nature:VolcanoesIn the lab:Burning of sulfur
What primarily causes acid rain?
Pollutants caused from burning fossil fuels are a primary factor. The two main gasses that create acid rain are Sulphur Dioxide and Nitrogen Oxide, both of which are byproducts of burning fossil fuels in different forms.
How does burning fossil fuels in power stations affect the acidity of rainwater?
Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) releases carbon dioxide as well as sulphur and nitrous oxides. All these will dissolve in clouds and rain which turns the rainwater acidic (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.
Have humans affected the earths Greenhouse Effect?
yes, by releasing greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and sulphur dioxide througe the burning of fossil fuels
